Entering the screening room, Matthew found his seat, and as soon as he sat down, Johnny Depp next to him came over and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"

Matthew shook his head, "It's fine. ”

For now, it should be fine, but what Harvey Weinstein thinks in his heart is only known to him.

Keira Knightley on the other side also asked with concern, "Harvey Weinstein didn't ask you to talk to the hotel, did he?"

"You're thinking too much. Matthew glared at her and said, "This is over for now." ”

Johnny Depp said again: "Didn't have a conflict with him, did you?"

Matthew shook his head, "How can I be such an honest and responsible person, how can I have a conflict with someone!"

Keira Knightley rolled her eyes, "You're honest......"

Matthew pointed to the screen, "The movie has started, let's watch the movie." ”

In any case, this is Gore Verbinski's masterpiece, and Matthew, as a collaborator, still has a very serious attitude towards watching the movie, and understanding the director's style is also conducive to the next shooting.

What's more, the leading actor in this film is still the actor Nicolas Cage, whom Matthew likes very much.

It's a pity that he was just entangled by Harvey Weinstein and didn't talk to Nicolas Cage, but Matthew also roughly understands that Nicolas Cage's situation is not very good now, since the failure of starring in John Wu's "The Wind Whisperer", he has been unlucky, and the box office reputation of the last few movies is not very ideal.

Especially without "National Treasure", he is in an even worse situation.

Matthew doesn't have any special feelings about this, and he doesn't feel sorry for anyone, it's the norm in Hollywood that you fight for me.

He used to like Nicolas Cage movies, and now he likes Nicolas Cage movies, but this love comes purely from the film and the role, and has nothing to do with the competition for roles in the circle.

The film began to be screened, from the beginning to the end of the credits, Matthew watched it very seriously, perhaps because he lacked enough interest in this type of film, he only felt that Gore Verbinski's new film was not even comparable to the American version of "Midnight Bell" that was previously filmed.

If most of the audience had a similar opinion, Nicolas Cage was probably going to hit the streets again.

Of course, Matthew knew that his point might not be accurate, because he lacked the more pure American life crisis that the film reflected.

This "Weather Forecaster" is an echo of "American Beauty" a few years ago, and it is yet another film about the midlife crisis of the American urban middle class.

Matthew is 25 years old, not yet middle-aged, and has neither an economic crisis nor a midlife crisis.

He is not middle-aged, second, middle-class, and third, he does not have a deep understanding of American cultural thought, so his understanding of this film is very difficult.

In this hour, 34 minutes of film, it always feels like someone is talking to him all the time about how to put the green or about the pedigree of a racehorse, and he doesn't know anything at all.

Matthew doesn't have the skills of a film critic, and at the same time, he can understand it in a way that transcends cultures, races, and social classes, so the film simply doesn't resonate with him personally.

He doesn't know what a midlife crisis is, and he can't understand that kind of mood, the midlife crisis that Matthew understands is to drink and have a bad temper.

Maybe only middle-aged people who are old and beautiful can resonate?

Matthew couldn't figure out why Gore Verbinski chose this film? Maybe the director has his own expression, which he can't understand as an actor.

What about Nicolas Cage? This film just looks at the atmosphere, and it looks like a street, how many viewers can be expected to pay for the film that reflects the mid-life crisis? Could it be that because of the mid-life crisis, Nicolas Cage resonated when he chose the film and the book?

This kind of dull film is more likely to push an actor's already declining career to a lower point.

As a result, as Matthew thought, this "Weather Forecaster" only got $4 million at the box office in its first week in North America, and the word-of-mouth was a mess.

For Gore Verbinski, who owns the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, it wouldn't hurt to mess up a production like this, but Nicolas Cage is not so secondary, obviously going to continue to slide.

A superstar has come to the brink of collapse after countless glories.

After the weekend of the release of "The Weather Forecaster," Matthew, like director Gore Verbinski, returned to filming "Pirates of the Caribbean: The End of the World."

At the same time, a lot of news about him has been reaching him through Helen Herman and Bella Anderson.

Just entering November, David Ellison's Skydance Pictures officially signed with Warner Bros., which will become the North American and overseas distributor of "The Three Hundred Spartan Warriors", and will be fully responsible for the promotion and distribution of the film.

The official signing of the distribution contract also means that Harvey Weinstein's intention to seek the distribution rights of "Spartan 300 Warriors" has completely failed.

According to the information obtained by Helen Herman, an executive of the Warner Bros. distribution department had a very unpleasant quarrel with Harvey Weinstein at a banquet, and the executive sternly warned Harvey Weinstein, who had bombarded Warner Bros. several times, of course did not accept this set, and immediately confronted each other, and the two sides almost scolded directly.

After this incident, Matthew learned that Harvey Weinstein wanted to get the distribution rights of "The Three Hundred Spartans", not only because he was optimistic about the film's prospects, but also because it was related to Warner Bros.

In other words, Harvey Weinstein is targeting Warner Bros. in a way.

The origin of the feud between the two parties comes from the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, Warner Bros.'s subsidiary New Line Pictures produced and distributed this series, and the Weinstein brothers participated in the investment because they previously held part of the copyright, and as a result, the two sides shared the spoils unevenly, which led to an intensification of conflicts.

Harvey Weinstein has publicly attacked Warner Bros. many times in newspapers, magazines and television interviews.

Harvey Weinstein can be said to be-for-tat this time to grab the distribution rights of Warner Bros., although he did not grab it in the end, but it also added to the success of Warner Bros.

The six major Hollywood companies belong to major media groups, but basically their businesses are accounted for independently, and the parent company generally does not interfere with the normal operation of the subsidiaries unless it is a particularly significant matter.

Not to mention that because of such a trivial matter, the power of a group was mobilized to fight Harvey Weinstein.

Hearing Helen Herman say this, Matthew originally thought that it had nothing to do with him, but Helen Herman then solemnly reminded him that Harvey Weinstein has the style of the Washington authorities, and if you are not on my side, you are on my side.

She also told Matthew another thing, a well-known Hollywood actress took an elevator with Harvey Weinstein during the Venice Film Festival, and was harassed by Harvey Weinstein, the actress had a more violent personality and severely reprimanded him, but Harvey Weinstein not only did not restrain himself, but when the elevator reached the floor where he was staying, he directly pushed the actress out of the elevator and dragged her arm to his room.

A guy who even Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie, who have a deep background in Hollywood, dares to harass, and its domineering degree can be imagined.

Matthew took note of Helen Herman's words, and at the same time knew that Hollywood circles said that small is not small, and it is not big to say that it is impossible to always avoid Harvey Weinstein, and from the current situation, Harvey Weinstein does not seem to have any intention of doing anything to him, but no one can guarantee that once "Spartan 300 Warriors" is a huge success, Harvey Weinstein will still be like this.

The most important thing for him is to continue to improve his coffee position and charisma, superstars like Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks, even Harvey Weinstein dare not provoke easily.

Maybe Harvey Weinstein won't do anything, but the human heart is the most difficult thing to measure.

Matthew has empathy, the producer naturally presses the actor, this is an unchangeable fact, and Harvey Weinstein's influence in the producers league is extraordinary, if it is him, in fact, there is no need to do anything deliberately, when an actor competes for a very important role, if there are important people in the crew who are familiar with each other, a casual phone call may affect the choice of actors.

It doesn't take much effort at all.

Just as the Screen Actors Guild will always unite against the Producers' Union, in general, the producers will also be on the side of the producers.

Of course, there was good news from Helen Herman, who had negotiated with David Ellison's Sky Dance Pictures for all of Matthew's treatment on the Spartan 300 project.

It's an unusually lucrative contract.

After Matthew completed the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The End of the World", he began to work on the crew of "Three Hundred Spartan Warriors", the crew will provide Matthew with a full-time driver, two bodyguards and an RV, and during Matthew's filming for the crew, the crew will be responsible for the salary of his stylist, costume designer and personal assistant.

Matthew's name must be the same size as the title and definitely ahead of the other cast members in the cinema and pay-to-play credits, and Matthew's name on the poster can be only 30 percent of the size of the film's title, but it must be larger than the names of the rest of the cast and crew, except for the distributor and release date.

Matthew has the right to decide whether or not to participate in any commercial promotion, including any media interviews, and if he agrees to an interview, priority must be given to the schedule, and if there are other visits or interviews, the crew must give him or Helen Herman forty-eight hours' notice.

(I remember reading the news, Harvey Weinstein directly angrily sprayed Warner Bros. on the TV show, and the scolding was very ugly, as if because of the copyright and spoils of "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit", in reality, Harvey Weinstein was angry with the Big Six more than once.) ）
