After entering December, the important awards season of Hollywood films kicked off, and the two films starring and released by Matthew this year, whether it is "Dawn of the Living Dead" or "National Treasure", will not have a direct connection with the awards season, more precisely, the type and content of this film also determine the eligibility to participate in the awards season.
However, Matthew still has a certain amount of exposure.
"National Treasure" still maintains a certain popularity in North America, and the box office continues to climb, even during the awards season, Matthew, the leading actor and the film, do not lack media attention.
The film, which spent its third weekend in North America, did not seem to have been affected by the negative reviews of critics at all, and the trend was unusually stable, with the box office falling by less than 50 percent this weekend, and the North American box office accumulated more than $140 million.
At this point, no one doubts that "National Treasure" could eventually surpass $200 million at the North American box office.
Matthew was also busy during this time, cheering for Johnny Depp's new film "Finding Neverland", the post-screening publicity announcement of "National Treasure", and then went to Keanu Reeves's moving party in a very high-profile manner.
Keanu Reeves accepted Charlize Theron's suggestion last year to buy a mansion for $4.5 million and became neighbors with Leonardo DiCaprio.
At the party, Matthew also saw Leonardo DiCaprio.
"Leo, this is Matthew. ”
In the spacious and huge living room, Keanu Reeves introduced Matthew and Leonardo DiCaprio, "Matthew, this is Leo. ”
Matthew held out his hand and greeted with a smile, "Hello, Leo." ”
Leonardo DiCaprio shook his hand, "Hello, Matthew. ”
The two got together and exchanged a few words, and Matthew also peeked at Leonardo DiCaprio, who was still in good shape now, not enough to sink a big ship.
"I met Kate at the Quest for Neverland. Matthew said to Leonardo DiCaprio, "She told me about you, and your friendship is enviable. ”
Leonardo DiCaprio smiled, "Kate didn't speak ill of me, did she?"
Obviously, his relationship with Kate Winslet is not generally good.
Matthew shook his head, "Of course not. ”
Keanu Reeves walked over with a couple of cans of beer and interjected, "Leo, there's one thing I've always wondered about, why didn't you and Kate call?"
Leonardo DiCaprio didn't answer directly, but asked, "Why didn't you call Charlize Theron?"
Keanu Reeves shoved a can of beer into Leonardo DiCaprio's hand and said, "We're just friends." ”
Matthew has just met Leonardo DiCaprio, so it's not good to interject in this regard, in fact, he feels that the reason why Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet don't call is mainly because Kate Winslet doesn't meet his aesthetics.
Then again, blonde, long-legged, and young and beautiful female models are liked by any normal man.
It's a pity that Keanu Reeves' moving party, which also invited his sister's family, was not as chaotic as the party in Hollywood.
Leonardo DiCaprio soon went somewhere else, and Matthew, who was not familiar with the others, simply visited his new home with Keanu Reeves.
The house is quite large, with more than 100 square meters in the living room alone, as well as five bedrooms, as well as a cloakroom and fitness room, recreation room, collection room, etc., although it is not as intimidating as some manors, but it is definitely a mansion.
The two walked through a long corridor and into the collection room, where Matthew saw a number of heavy motorcycles, especially a few Harleys, which were quite attractive.
Matthew went over and looked at it carefully and asked, "Is this your collection?"
"Hmm. Keanu Reeves followed, reached out and gently brushed the handlebars of a Harley, and said, "If it weren't for these collections, I wouldn't have bought a house, and it's much more convenient to stay in a hotel." ”
He turned to look at Matthew, "I bought a house, or Sally's suggestion, she told me last year that it is not easy to keep the things in the collection, it is better to buy a house, and I bought it here." ”
"It's always good to have a ...... home," Matthew's obsession with the house is deeply ingrained. ”
Keanu Reeves smiled and suddenly asked, "Have you been in contact with Sally lately?"
Matthew nodded, "It was a phone call a few days ago, she is in Germany now, and she won't be able to come back until after the New Year." He took the initiative to change the topic and said, "Now that you have a mansion, those propaganda will be self-defeating." ”
"That's not what I did. Keanu Reeves waved his hand and said very directly, "It's all hearsay and hype from small reports." ”
Matthew chatted with Keanu Reeves while admiring his collection.
What I just said stems from the fact that after the "Matrix" trilogy, Keanu Reeves became popular, and many tabloids are hyping him as an alternative star in order to attract attention.
The house that the two of them just talked about is one of them.
There have been many tabloids and website hype before, saying that Keanu Reeves has slept in a motel for nine years, even as an adult, and there is also a picture of him sleeping on the floor of a motel with his dog, which makes people who see it sad and can't stop being sad.
Matthew has known Keanu Reeves for two years, and he knows him well, Keanu Reeves did live in a motel for four years before he really became a star, and he never bought a house since.
It's not that he can't afford it, he doesn't buy a house just because he doesn't want to buy it, because he can't settle down because acting, Keanu Reeves personally told Matthew and Depp that it's so convenient to stay in a hotel, someone makes the bed and cleans up the house or something......
In the next few years, he lived in a shabby motel at all.
Keanu Reeves changed to the high-end Marmont Hotel, and the cost level of this hotel was probably a few thousand dollars when Keanu Reeves invited him and Depp to a slightly better meal.
In the spring of this year, the "Sun" also hyped the news that Keanu Reeves was sitting on a chair on the side of the street with a bearded and tattered clothes, eating cupcakes alone, and a birthday candle was inserted on the cake.
The images taken by The Sun circulated widely online, especially with Keanu Kieves' fans......
In fact, Keanu Reeves was filming a movie at the time, and the paparazzi of "The Sun" did not follow the tacit understanding between the crew and reporters, and secretly took such a set of photos when the crew was filming.
Although Keanu Reeves belongs to the bohemian type among celebrities, he will not toss himself to this point.
Similar to these are widely circulated on the Internet, but they have made Keanu Reeves' image better and his reputation louder, so Keanu Reeves has never spoken.
Like the tactics often used by Matthew and Helen Herman, neither admitting nor denying it, leaving themselves plenty of buffer room.
Matthew saw these hypes at the time, and he also sighed that the personalities of Hollywood stars are not only close to personal external performance like him, but also people like Jessica Alba who pretend to be crazy and stupid, and Keanu Reeves who is forced to be pressed on the head by the outside world.
As for why the tabloids hyped him so badly, Matthew could also think of it with his toes, it must be to earn eyeballs, a Hollywood star like this can actually attract the attention of readers.
Of course, Keanu Reeves is indeed a bit miserable to say, if you measure it by some of the points of view where Matthew once lived, Keanu Reeves has a bit of a lone star flavor, and he is usually an informal person.
Out of the collection room, Keanu Reeves said, "There are still a few empty houses in the south, don't you want to buy a house? ”
Matthew shrugged his shoulders and said with some regret, "I don't have any money for the time being." ”
"Huh?" Keanu Reeves was a little curious, "Didn't you get paid 10 million dollars for starring in Mr. and Mrs. Smith?
"Nope. Matthew shook his head first, and then said, "After the film was filmed, the crew paid all the money, and I bought all the stocks." ”
Taking advantage of the fact that there is no news about the kidney machine, in addition to leaving a small amount of funds, he has turned most of the money he earns into Apple's retail stocks circulating in the market, Steve Jobs is still there, and he has not had any dealings with Steve Jobs as the biggest variable, plus the 911 incident and the attack on Afghanistan and Iraq wars that have been a little impression in recent years have all appeared,
It is impossible for the kidney machine to disappear.
He didn't know how to invest, and he didn't really care about it, and Apple was the safest choice in his memory.
Matthew also doesn't want to make much profit by buying Apple's fractional shares, as long as it can outperform inflation and the depreciation of the dollar, it will be a victory.
The two returned to the living room, and a few more people came to the party, Matthew looked at the unfamiliar face, guessing that it should not be a Hollywood insider, Keanu Reeves is not as weird as Johnny Depp, but the friends he has made are also three-tiered.
Some of them turned out to be his fans, and they came over to sign autographs and take photos at the party, which made Matthew a little crying and laughing.
A moment after the party began, Leonardo DiCaprio was the first to leave, he came here more out of politeness, and his friendship with Keanu Reeves was far less than that of Matthew.
But Leonardo DiCaprio had just left, and Matthew had to say goodbye and leave, when he received a call from his agent, Helen Herman.
Helen Herrmann made a special call to inform him that the Mercedes-Benz side had suddenly arrived in Los Angeles this afternoon, and that they would like to meet him as a candidate two days later, and that they needed to discuss with him urgently tonight. 2
