Chapter 908: Need Money to Support Your Family (Add More to Alliance Leader TTTRRR)
By the time Justin Lin and screenwriter Chris Morgan came up with a general character, Matthew contacted Jason Statham and Charlize Theron.
Jason Statham is in the UK, Matthew can't leave Los Angeles for the time being, and can only be contacted by phone, the two made a few phone calls, and basically reached a preliminary intention, Jason Statham himself is willing to play the main role in such a top production, but the specific details still need to be further negotiated between the crew and his agent.
Matthew has never been worried about getting Jason Statham, the last time he filmed "Special Forces: The Rise of the Cobra", Jason Statham showed a strong intention to cooperate, and in recent years, in addition to "The Expendables", he has also lacked powerful works.
Even if "The Expendables" is counted, Jason Statham has never starred in Hollywood's first-line productions in the past.
For an actor who is heavily inclined to the action genre, the appeal of a first-line blockbuster production can be imagined.
And Jason Statham's salary is not high, far from the standard of an A-list star.
Charlize Theron is a little more troublesome than Jason Statham, and Matthew decides to meet her, and after contacting Charlize Theron, he learns that she is filming a film called Snow White and the Huntsman at Universal Studios.
Charlize Theron plays not the heroine, but the villain queen.
The current Charlize Theron is far from being compared with a few years ago, after starring with him in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" and "Superman Hancock for All", Charlize Theron can be described as a popular star.
But in recent years, she has taken on very few films, including "Burning Plains".
Hollywood is a forgetful place, and moviegoers are also a team that is very easy to divert their interests, and a star fades out of sight for a few years, which has a very big impact.
Not to mention Charlize Theron, even Julia Roberts, who has only been out of the audience's attention for two or three years, is unable to create the glory of the year when she comes back.
Coming to the studio area of Universal Studios, Matthew inquired a little and knew the studio where the crew of "Snow White and the Huntsman" was located, and then came to a huge studio not far from the entrance of the studio, said hello to the staff, and walked into the studio under the leadership of a crew assistant.
The crew was filming, and Matthew, who was also a Hollywood actor, knew some of the most basic rules, came to the periphery of the set, and watched the shooting in silence.
Charlize Theron is filming, and she has to wait until she finishes filming.
Matthew looked at it in general, and the set was set up in a medieval palace that resembled Europe, with a large number of actors playing guards and courtiers standing in it, most conspicuously a girl in a shabby dress, and Charlize Theron, who sat on the throne opposite her.
"This is the Queen and Snow White?" Matthew muttered to himself.
Charlize Theron is richly dressed and has a compelling aura, and she really has the demeanor of a queen.
Matthew looked at Charlize Theron and said to himself, "Starring in literary films is a waste of resources. ”
Then he saw Snow White,
It was a somewhat familiar face, and Matthew only recognized it slightly, and confirmed that it was a pure man...... No, that's Kristen Stewart.
It is clear that Kristen Stewart plays Snow White.
Although he lost the role of Isabella, Kristen Stewart was born as a child star after all, and Matthew was not surprised to get the role of Snow White, the problem is that the crew chose Kristen Stewart as Snow White, so you have to choose Whoopi Goldenberg as the queen, right?
Otherwise, wouldn't the magic mirror be talking nonsense to the audience and the queen with its eyes open?
It is estimated that the person in the casting power of the crew has a grudge against Kristen Stewart.
Matthew complained and stopped watching the shooting, and if he continued to watch, he couldn't help but complain again.
Finally, the director shouted to stop filming and let the crew rest for twenty minutes, Matthew went to the rest room to find Charlize Theron, only to find that Kristen Stewart, who was out of the set, affectionately took a young man dressed as a medieval aristocrat into the rest room.
The man was a little familiar, but Matthew couldn't remember what the other man's name was.
"What are you looking at?" Charlize Theron walked over and followed Matthew's gaze to Kristen Stewart, and said in a low voice, "Don't go too far, Matthew." As you can see, Kristen Stewart has a boyfriend. ”
Matthew couldn't help frowning, "Hey, honey, what do you think?"
Charlize Theron knew that she had misunderstood, and she was not embarrassed, and with the assistance of her assistant, she took off the queen's crown, sat down on a sofa, pointed to the side, and said, "Sit casually, you're welcome." ”
Matthew looked around, and the people next to him were very conscious, and after serving Charlize Theron, they all flashed into the distance.
"What were you just looking at?" Charlize Theron continued.
"The actor with Kristen Stewart is kind of familiar. Matthew told the truth.
Charlize Theron said simply, "His name is Robert Pattinson, and he plays the prince in this play. ”
Matthew nodded slightly, changed the subject, and asked curiously, "What do you think about starring in this kind of film?"
"The pay is very high. Charlize Theron said directly, "I need money to support my family." ”
"Raising a family?" Matthew frowned.
Who wants to see the goddess he once loved marry someone else, and to love her is to see her happy, he never believed this kind of bullshit.
Charlize Theron's good-looking eyes swept over Matthew's face, sighed softly, and explained, "I have adopted a daughter, and from now on, the two of us will depend on each other, and I will create the best life for my daughter." ”
Matthew understands the meaning of this, Charlize Theron has had that special experience, and he has been harmed by himself for a period of time in the middle, and it is estimated that he has a serious lack of confidence in men.
Adopting a daughter may also be emotional sustenance.
"Sally. Matthew said slowly, "If you need help, just ask, you don't need to be polite to me." ”
In any case, the two are publicly engaged.
Charlize Theron was also not polite to Matthew, smiled, and said, "I will." ”
"Where's your daughter?" Matthew then asked, "at home, didn't bring it, when will I see it?"
Charlize Theron smiled like a mother, "The nanny and assistant took her out to play, and you can see her in a while." ”
A large group of actors walked by not far from the front at this time, and after Matthew saw it, he couldn't help but say, "Who is in charge of casting in the crew, it's really level." ”
"Huh?" Charlize Theron didn't understand what Matthew meant.
There was no one around, and Matthew didn't have so many scruples when he spoke, "Since it's a fairy tale movie, can't you choose a few actors who are pleasing to the eye?"
Charlize Theron glanced at Matthew, "That's good." ”
Matthew tilted his head to look at Charlize Theron, deliberately made a gesture of understanding, and said, "Indeed, this is very good for you." He joked, "Sally, there are these people...... Oh yes, and that Snow White as a foil, I found you to be particularly beautiful today. ”
Charlize Theron didn't think so, and took this film purely because the salary was high enough and the characters were quite attractive.
Matthew nodded, "Sally, have you ever had such an idea?"
"What's the idea?" asked Charlize Theron, curious.
"Isn't it every day of filming, and I laugh like crazy in my heart. Matthew learned from Charlize Theron's tone, "A bunch of ugly and poor people dare to compare their beauty with the queen!
"Poof......" Charlize Theron couldn't help but laugh.
Matthew also laughed, although he is not an actor of the same era, but he directly plays the opposite role like this, and he is still the two actors of the famous fairy tale enemy, and when the film is released, it will definitely be compared, and the media and the audience will definitely compare Kristen Stewart with Charlize Theron with their appearance and aura, Kristen Stewart is really not suitable to play a princess.
Especially the princesses in fairy tales.
"No kidding. Charlize Theron looked at the time and asked directly, "What are you looking for me?"
The two have been old friends for many years and know each other very well, and Matthew came to find her, definitely not to make her happy.
Although she likes it very much, Matthew is a very purposeful person......
"How about we work together again?" Matthew and Charlize Theron didn't need to go around in circles, and said directly, "It is estimated that around the New Year of 2013, I will be filming the seventh part of the "Fast and Furious" series. ”
He roughly said, "It takes a very strong female villain...... Well, there are a lot of scenes, and I should be second only to me, on par with Paul Walker, are you interested?"
"A very powerful female villain?" Charlize Theron thought for a moment and asked, "Is it possible to beat you up in the film?"
Matthew was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, in the middle section, I will be beaten badly by you, although in the end you will be sent to prison by me." ”
Charlize Theron was quick to answer, "Yes, but I signed a contract with Warner Bros., and I may make a George Miller film at that time, and if there is a schedule conflict, you have to coordinate it for me first." ”
"No problem. Matthew immediately responded.
The two quickly reached an intention, and other matters will be slowly discussed by the producers of the crew and the actors' agents.
Matthew chatted with Charlize Theron for a while, and twenty minutes passed quickly, and Charlize Theron returned to the set, and when she finished two more scenes and came back to rest, Charlize Theron's assistant aka Bella Anderson's sister came back from outside the studio with a little girl.
"Mommy ......"
The little girl ran all the way to Charlize Theron, her face flushed and she seemed to be having a good time.
