When passing north of Burbank, Matthew did not let the driver stop, and Alexandra Daddario did not express any opinion, and followed Matthew to Beverly Hills, which provided Matthew with a rough wave that night.

Now that he has successfully obtained a ticket to participate in the surfing competition, Matthew will naturally not be polite.

For a few days after Thanksgiving, he was addicted to the game of surfing.

There are always sports magazines that do a ranking of the top 10 most exciting surfing spots in the world, and the first place is often difficult to deliver, but if Matthew is left to rank, the beach called Alexandra d'Addario is definitely unmatched anywhere else.

A surfer like Matthew is very good at playing, and the devastating waves can't drown out the challenge.

Life is like a drama all depends on waves, and the highest level of waves is that you can surf without waves!

The power of nature is in his hands, and this is the greatest charm of surfing.

At the same time, "Twilight" also entered its second weekend, and as expected, the film's box office plummeted the following weekend, a whopping 65% drop from the first weekend, but the $27.86 million in revenue was enough to ensure that "Twilight" continued to top the weekend box office charts.

Two weeks after its release, "Twilight" grossed $156.4 million at the North American box office.

Judging from the current trend, it is not difficult for this film to break $200 million at the North American box office, but it is basically impossible to hit $250 million.

In addition, many overseas countries and regions have also begun to screen the film, and the overseas box office has easily received as much as 50 million US dollars.

There is no shortage of girlish hearts and Mary Sue in any country and in people with different cultural backgrounds.

Since he had to return to the crew of "Special Forces" for filming, Matthew specially found Sean Daniel and Sofia Coppola to chat about the sequel to "New Moon", and set the tone and general direction of the sequel.

Now that "Twilight" is a success, it is natural to continue this successful model.

"Twilight" is arguably the first time that Matthew and Studio 13 have worked on a film, in which the distributor Disney Studios also played a key role, and both parties have been very successful in the overall operation of the film.

Matthew also really has the experience of running a film as a whole, which is also a valuable gain for an actor who is developing towards a producer.

He started with a set of photos, contacted the author to buy the copyright, looked for suitable young actors, found suitable directors and producers, set the tone suitable for the whole film, and left foreshadowing at the end of the first part, so that the sequel could spread the story bigger and bigger.

Making a movie and operating a movie are not the same thing at all.

To put it bluntly, as he said before, this is the difference between making a movie and selling a movie.

One is a craftsman's job, the other is a marketing job, although each has its own division of labor, but the ultimate goal is the same, that is, to sell as many copies as possible and earn an extra nickel.

Through careful observation and analysis, Matthew came to the conclusion that teenagers like "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games" could become another long-term box office growth point for Hollywood in addition to superhero films.

And he also understood one thing thoroughly: never, never underestimate that group of teenagers!

This group of energetic and wide-ranging young people has always been a new force in the box office market, they love and hate, and they are willing to dedicate, and under their joint promotion, Hollywood is very likely to give birth to one box office myth after another of teen movies.

Behind the box office myth are those highly sought-after popular teenagers, with the fan base and popularity accumulated by these bestsellers, the filmmakers don't even need to waste too much energy in exchange for a considerable box office result.

Twilight is just the beginning!

It's hard to see another time for the same thing as when he took the rights to "Twilight" from the negotiations between Paramount Pictures and Summit Entertainment from the ashes of the desk, and bought the rights to Susan Collins's "The Hunger Games" at a seemingly high price before the release of the "Twilight" movie.

Because Hollywood is always a profit-seeking world, no matter what the subject, as long as it has enough box office potential, there will be a large number of companies rushing to it, and after the box office success of low-budget teen films such as "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games", a rush to buy teen adaptation rights will break out, especially the works of well-known teen writers will become the target of major companies, and many unpublished rights may be sold.

In this foreseeable copyright rush war, no one wants to lag behind others, no matter whether they can shoot or not, it is the most important thing to grab the right to shoot first.

Therefore, the price he paid to win "The Hunger Games" is actually very low.

Just entering December, Matthew left Los Angeles and rushed to the Sonora Desert to join up with the crew of "Special Forces" where he was filming, and continue filming the rest of the Duke's scenes.

His last scene was filmed in the snow and ice of Iceland, and now it moves to the hot desert terrain.

Since the Sonora Desert is located on the border between the United States and Mexico, including a large area of Arizona and California in the United States and the Mexican state of Sonora, Matthew came over this time and brought a whole team of ten bodyguards with him.

Of course, on a day in the crew, the expenses of his bodyguards will be taken care of by the crew.

It's also a Hollywood convention, but it's only accessible to the big stars.

Filming in the hot desert is a test for actors, and even in December, the temperature in the Sonora area is very high, and Matthew's Duke needs to wear the full desert equipment of American soldiers.

He's pretty good, after all, the desert training uniform takes into account the performance of heat dissipation and ventilation.

In contrast, Karolina Kokuva, who plays the redhead, is much more uncomfortable, the shooting here is all on location action scenes, she has to wear black tights every day to shoot or wait for shooting, black itself is relatively easy to absorb heat, Hollywood tights made in order to highlight the actress's figure, and only pursue visual effects, the actual fit is not suitable for wearing, who wears who knows.

This former Victoria's Secret angel is like having a dip in water when he removes his makeup every day.

During the filming, Jason Statham also joined the crew as Colonel Brad, an important figure on the Cobra side.

The officer, who once served in the Pentagon, single-handedly led to the ambush of the Duke's elite squad.

Matthew also chatted with Jason Statham, who used to be quite famous on the other side of the Pacific, but the crew invited him to play a minor villain, and it didn't cost too much, Jason Statham's salary is not high, and he could only be the protagonist in the B-grade film circle before, and the B-grade action movies filmed are basically a model.

In order to squeeze into the mainstream film circle, he also took the initiative to lower the conditions.

"Jason ......"

After a shoot, Matthew took the initiative to say to Jason Statham, "I've always been interested in kickboxing, and we can have a game sometime?"

Jason Statham hurriedly shook his head, "I used to practice diving, and I wasn't good at fighting. ”

Hearing him say this, Matthew had to dismiss this idea, and then he learned that Jason Statham was a diver when he was younger, and he had a fight with Nina Dubov in rhythmic gymnastics, once entered the British national diving team, and also participated in the Commonwealth Games and the World Championships.

Sure enough, this group of Hollywood stars had any profession before they became famous.

Matthew and Jason Statham have many rival scenes, and the Duke's pursuit of Colonel Brad is also the core of the crew's desert scenes.

The filming is basically an action scene.

In front of the camera lens, Carolina Kokuva, dressed in a black tight-fitting suit, raises her crossbow, shoots down a Cobra soldier, and shouts at Matthew, "Leave it to me here, don't let Brad run!"

Matthew kept his composure, raised his gun and shot down another Cobra soldier, turning and chasing in the direction Jason Statham had fled.

Stepping on the fiery sand, he was like a real soldier, raising his vigilance, lowering his posture, and the moment he saw Jason Statham's figure, he lay on the sand and rolled three times in succession.

The gunpowder set in advance by the crew detonated one after another, and the ground he had just rolled on was as if he had really been shot by a bullet, and bursts of smoke and dust came out.

Immediately, Matthew fired back, but again missed the target.

Whether in the comics or in the setting of the script, Colonel Brad, like the Duke, is the elite of the elite.

The only difference is that Brad in the movie has changed from a major to a colonel, and the image has become cool and no longer obscene.

This character in comics and toys has a one-eyed beard, and his obscene appearance makes people know that he is a villain at a glance, although in the old version of the animation, Brad is not cool to follow, but as a soldier, he does not disgrace his title of "combat expert".

Before joining Cobra, this person was already famous in the world of war, and he had outstanding achievements in various countries and places, he was good at all kinds of cold soldiers, hot weapons, and he was also able to control tanks and planes, and he was handy.... Once such a battlefield madman commits evil, he will naturally become a thorn in the side of all countries.

It was close to noon, the weather was getting unusually hot, and the crew's filming for the day was over, Matthew changed back into his clothes, went to the other side of the camp, knocked on the door and got into Carolina Kokuva's trailer, Karolina Kokuva had wet hair, obviously just showered, and there were several black tights of the exact same style on the hanger behind her.

Matthew pulled out a chair and sat down, gesturing to the black tights, "Put it on, and go out with me." ”

Carolina Kokuva knew that Matthew had completely let herself go on her, but she didn't say anything, after all, she actually got a female number two, immediately changed her costume, followed Matthew out of the trailer, and walked towards the endless sand dunes.
