Hearing this, Matthew looked over there, the little girl was about five or six years old, with snow-white skin, a pair of pale blue eyes and flax blonde hair tied into a ponytail, and three-dimensional facial features, which looked somewhat similar to Charlize Theron.

At first glance, some people believe that these two people are biological mother and daughter.

"Honey, where are you going?" Charlize Theron straightened the girl's somewhat disheveled hair.

The little girl, standing in front of Charlize Theron, seemed particularly happy, and replied, "Aunt Anderson took me to the tour area, and I saw dinosaurs." ”

Charlize Theron took a handkerchief and handed it to the little girl, "Sweat so much, wipe it quickly." ”

The little girl obediently took it, wiped the sweat from her face, turned her head, looked at Matthew curiously, and asked, "Mommy, who is this uncle? ”

Hearing this, Matthew took the initiative to step forward, crouched down to bring himself closer to the height of the little girl, and said with a smile, "My name is Matthew Horner, can you tell me your name?"

"Hello, Mr. Horner. ”

The little girl was very polite and greeted him first, and then introduced herself very formally, "My name is Amir Miller Theron." ”

Probably because she often follows Charlize Theron in and out of the set, the little girl is polite and not very afraid of life.

Charlize Theron chimed in, "She's six years old. ”

Matthew praised, "So well-behaved and cute." ”

Charlize Theron smiled, but didn't answer, turned his head and said, "Take Amir to rest." When the little girl left, she said, "She is very well-behaved in front of outsiders, and she is very naughty at home." ”

That being said, Matthew could tell that Charlize Theron's heart was full of joy.

"Looks like kids are like that, right?" Matthew wasn't sure about that, he didn't have any children, "Amir looks a little like you. ”

He joked, "Sally, this can't be your own daughter, can it?"

Charlize Theron glared at Matthew, and then took him into the army, "Count, we've known each other for seven or eight years, and since 2004, I've only had a relationship with you, if I'm Amir's biological mother, who is her biological father?"

"Uh......" Matthew was momentarily speechless.

Charlize Theron's mouth hooked up with an imperceptible smile, it was so rare to make Matthew so deflated.

Matthew was speechless and then puzzled, and after being puzzled, he was a little overwhelmed, and hurriedly asked, "What you said is true?"

Charlize Theron shut up and said nothing.

"Sally, this is no joke. Matthew took a deep breath, "I'm not mentally prepared!"

His head turned quickly, thinking back to the situation with Charlize Theron six or seven years ago, when Charlize Theron was not as avoiding him as he is now, the two would see each other a few times a month, and they saw each other sincerely, if Charlize Theron was pregnant, she couldn't hide it from him at all.

"When I met Amir, she was four years old. Charlize Theron knew very well that this kind of thing could only scare Matthew a little, and when he came back to his senses, he would naturally be able to figure it out, and immediately said, "Her original name was Amir Miller, and after I adopted her, I let her take my last name." ”

Matthew nodded slightly, "Is there anything I need to do?"

As long as Charlize Theron speaks, it's not a problem to be the godfather of this girl or anything.

Charlize Theron shook her head slowly, "Our mother and daughter are living well. ”

After working hard in Hollywood for so many years, she doesn't want her daughter to have too much entanglement with Matthew, who is her best friend and is a good person most of the time in front of her, but treats others more like assholes.

Matthew didn't understand Charlize Theron's mind and thought she was used to such a life.

Maybe the trauma from my biological father in my childhood can't be healed in this life, right?

It's better to have a daughter than to be alone.

Charlize Theron quickly changed the subject and asked, "Don't forget to send me a copy of the character you said if the script is available." ”

"The script is still being adjusted for the time being. Matthew also moved on to work, "It's going to take a while." ”

A staff member came to inform that filming was about to start again, and Matthew didn't stay any longer, said goodbye to Charlize Theron, and left the studio where the crew of "Snow White and the Huntsman" was located.

In the days that followed, he met daily with Justin Lin and Chris Morgan to discuss the setting of the villains of "Fast & Furious 6" and "Fast & Furious 7."

In particular, the role of Charlize Theron should be able to bring freshness to the audience.

Matthew also discussed with David Ellison, and the two reached a consensus that after the filming of "Fast and Furious 7", this series will be temporarily suspended for a while, and now the speed of releasing one film every two years, if it lasts too long, it will inevitably cause aesthetic fatigue.

Not to mention the "Fast and Furious" series, even the "Star Wars" series can't be bombed at a high frequency indefinitely.

Stop for a while, you can completely restart it in the future, feelings are not only there in the previous generation, but also in this generation when they are older.

It is undoubtedly safer to pause for five or six years, and then look at the situation in the film market, and then decide on the style of shooting.

The money should be squeezed as much as possible, but such a series that can operate for a long time cannot be squeezed dry all at once.

Maybe you could think of it another way, like pulling out a particularly popular character from the racing family and filming a separate side story?

Counting up, there are only three roles that are suitable, he plays Sean, Paul Walker plays Brian, and Gal Gadot plays Giselle.

Brian is relatively difficult to operate, after all, he has basically been there from the origin to the present, and Sean and Giselle are completely capable of pulling it out to shoot a separate prequel.

Giselle, in particular, according to various market research, this character is very popular with female audiences.

After finishing the scripts of these two "Fast and Furious", discuss the possibility with Justin Lin in this regard, after all, it is also an opportunity to make money.

At the same time, news came from the other side of the Pacific that after 30 days of screening, "Fast and Furious 5" took the lead in getting off the stage from movie theaters on the other side of the Pacific, and the final box office figure was 1,478.58 million soft girl coins.

This surpassed the original record of 1,428.84 million soft girl coins of "Avatar" and became the new box office champion on the other side of the Pacific.

Of course, Matthew saw very clearly that the screen numbers at the time of the release of "Fast and Furious 5" were more than seventy percent higher than when "Avatar" was released!

More theaters, more theaters, and more screens make "Fast and Furious 5" more in-depth than "Avatar" in third- and fourth-tier cities on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and even small counties, facing a wider audience.

Matthew knew that with the pace of construction of cinemas across the Pacific, it wouldn't be long before the box office champion would be replaced.

The fourth and fifth installments of the "Fast and Furious" series have completely opened up the market there, and maybe the new record will be "Fast and Furious 6" or "Fast and Furious 7".

Given the preferences of the audience over there, Matthew thinks it's a very big possibility.

Now is the time for popcorn movies to take full hold across the Pacific.

At the end of July, Marvel Studios' last film before "The Avengers", "Captain America: The Avengers", was officially released, and the commander of the Avengers finally appeared.

This film, which has an obvious retro flavor, has not received a good response, and even a considerable number of fans believe that the film itself is not as good as the easter egg about "The Avengers" at the end.

Fortunately, the film's box office is not bad for the $140 million production cost, and the $65.05 million in the first three days of North America, and the industry's general North American box office expectation of around $180 million, will not make investors lose money.

Steve Rogers is really too far away from the current audience, and the people who liked the "Captain America" comics back then are old, if it weren't for Marvel Comics' efforts to promote the new Captain America comics in recent years, it is estimated that the box office may be even worse.

Matthew's investment won't lose money, but it's impossible to make as much money as the two "Iron Man" films.

However, he will continue to insist on investing in the sequel film of "Captain America", because he saw a comic called "Civil War" in the new comic about Steve Rogers that has been released by Marvel Comics in recent years.

Two factions of superheroes, led by Captain America and Iron Man, fight in the comics and lead to the death of Captain America Steve Rogers.

"Which side are you on?"

Frankly, Matthew is also aware of the political metaphors.

Of course, political metaphors are only felt by those who are relatively sensitive to politics, and children will only see a superhero scuffle.

The release of "Captain America: Avengers" also announced that the first phase of the Marvel superhero universe has come to an end, and "The Avengers" will come on the first weekend of next summer.

Matthew has invested 40 percent of the money in the Avengers project, and certainly wants to see the film a big hit.

If you can step on "Avatar" and punch "Titanic", it would be great.

Although "Captain America" received a good response, the North American box office also reached $120 million in two weekends after its release, and the overseas box office also won nearly $70 million.

With the current box office trend, it is not difficult to see that it is not difficult for "Captain America" to exceed $350 million at the global box office.

Although such box office figures are not enough for "Captain America" to recover the costs including publicity, it is still relatively easy to recover the cost with the benefits of the periphery.

Moreover, all this is to pave the way for next year's super killer "The Avengers".

In late August, Matthew put aside these jobs for the time being and officially joined the preparation of "American Sniper" to make final preparations for the filming of this film.
