Chapter 784: No Complaints

Playing an elf role, Matthew believes that his handsome appearance is not a problem, the biggest problem is his body, he dealt with Orlando Bloom back then, although Orlando Bloom is not the kind of slender man who is beautiful, but he is also much slimmer than him.

It's up to Peter Jackson to set up the role of this original elf.

He has seen the "Hobbit" trilogy, and there are only three elf characters that can leave an impression, Legolas, Legolas's father, and Legolas's crush on the female elf.

After reaching an agreement with Kevin Tsohara that day, he specifically looked for the original book of The Hobbit, which was very short, only fifteen chapters, and there was no mention of Legolas and the female elf at all.

If I'm not mistaken, Legolas was specially added to the movie by Peter Jackson, after all, the elven prince of the year was so attractive.

That female elf is supposed to be the original character of Peter Jackson, and she has a love triangle with Legolas and a certain dwarf.

Anyway, Peter Jackson won't let him play the female elf, right? New Zealand directors shouldn't be so unreliable.

As for Legolas, the elven prince, Peter Jackson doesn't mention it, and the characters highlighted are Gollum and Aragorn.

Maybe Peter Jackson wants to let the elf character designed after him replace the former elven prince Legolas, after all, Orlando Bloom is not easy to find now.

After the failure of "Heavenly Dynasty", Orlando Bloom disappeared from the circle, originally Matthew thought that he was hiding somewhere to lick his wounds and wait for the opportunity to start over, but there was no news of him for so many years.

Matthew also asked Helen Herman, and Helen Herman also specifically asked someone to inquire, and she didn't know where Orlando Bloom went.

Whenever he thinks of Orlando Bloom, Matthew always sighs in his heart, such a good young man will not commit suicide because of career failure, right?

That's a sin.

Leaving the Warner Building, Matthew saw that it was still early and went to the angel agency.

Due to his smooth career development, many film projects he has invested in are being planned, and the angel agency is busy, Matthew enters the front hall of the agency and sees many ordinary actors waiting to be signed.

Among the actresses, the eyes that looked at him were extremely hot, even if he wanted to ignore them.

The burning eyes of dozens of actresses came over, and even a seasoned veteran like Matthew couldn't stand it a little bit, and hurriedly went up to the second floor to Helen Herman's agency.

"You've also been scared away by women?"

In the office, Amanda was there, with a teasing smile, and said to Matthew, "You beckon, at least half of these women will come home with you." ”

Matthew shrugged, "The quality is so poor. ”

If this kind of thing can't be guaranteed in quality and quantity, then what's the point?

"Tell me something serious. Helen Herman brought the topic of crooked buildings back on track, "Matthew, you still have three days off, and starting this weekend, you have to report to the crew of "Special Forces: The Rise of the Cobra" to participate in the final pre-screening promotion of the film. ”

Talking about work, Matthew took it a lot more seriously, nodded and said, "I see." ”

Helen Herman asked, "I heard you're in another conflict with Harvey Weinstein?"

"It's not that I'm going to have a conflict with him. Matthew spread his hands and said helplessly, "I just talked to Kevin Tsuhara about cooperating with Warner Bros. to shoot "The Hobbit", and Harvey Weinstein came over in front of me, ready to grab my investment share, do you want me to back down?"

Amanda answered, "Of course we can't back down, if we move our money, we are our enemies!"

Matthew gave Amanda a thumbs up, "Honey, you're so right, so I didn't give an inch and slapped Harvey Weinstein's outstretched hand back." ”

"Well played!" Amanda clasped her hands to her chest, very imposing, "The Weinstein brothers' company has always been in New York, compared to the low-key Bob Weinstein, Harvey Weinstein has a very bad reputation in the New York business district, and some of the things he has done are ......"

She couldn't help but shake her head, although Matthew is not much better in this regard, but it is completely different from Harvey Weinstein, Matthew is all about you and me, each takes what he needs, and never forces others, while Harvey Weinstein doesn't do too much to force things.

Helen Herman was relatively cautious, and said blandly, "People like Harvey Weinstein are like poisonous snakes, with our strength, don't worry too much about him, but don't ignore it, I don't know when he will come out and take a bite." ”

Matthew went to pick up a glass of water, took a sip, and said, "Everything else can be put aside, but this is the second time to grab a project." ”

The office is full of his own people, and he doesn't hide his thoughts, "If there's a way to make Harvey Weinstein completely finished, you don't have to worry about him jumping out and taking a bite." ”

"It's not easy. Helen Herman said lightly.

Amanda nodded slightly, "Harvey Weinstein has offended many people in the past, and there are many people who want him to finish, but he is okay so far, which is enough to show his own strength." ”

Matthew sat back on the couch, tapped the armrests lightly, and thought for a while before saying, "Those people, maybe they lack a good opportunity." ”

Helen Herman frowned slightly, "Can you create a chance? No chance, don't make a move, it doesn't matter if you tear your face in the circle, but don't start a life-and-death fight easily." ”

Amanda reminded, "Matthew, even if you want to do something, you have to do it privately at first. ”

Matthew nodded slowly, his fingers tapping on the armrest of the couch faster and faster, quickly going through all that had happened in his brain from the earliest contact with Harvey Weinstein to the present, and then there was a little gain.

"The Weinstein brothers get along a little strangely. Matthew asked, thinking, "Bob Weinstein is like an invisible man." ”

Helen Herman looked at him and said, "These two brothers have been like this since the very beginning, Harvey Weinstein in front and Bob Weinstein in the background, and the two work together. ”

Matthew asked, "Who?"

"Harvey Weinstein, of course. Helen Herman didn't even think about it and said, "The previous Miramax and the current Weinstein Pictures are actually Harvey Weinstein's final say." ”

Amanda also said, "That's true. ”

"Is Bob Weinstein willing?" asked Matthew, in a low voice, "does he have no complaints in his heart?"

He pinched his chin slightly, "How many men are willing to be this kind of transparent and invisible people?"

Helen Herman and Amanda didn't answer, but they thought about it, they are both elite women in the business field, and they see things like profit and humanity very clearly.

Who can refuse money and power? Who doesn't have the desire to do that?

"What do you think?" asked Helen Herman directly.

"Find someone to have a personal contact with Bob Weinstein. Matthew spoke slowly, "Let's see if we can find out what he really thinks about Harvey Weinstein, and then we'll figure out something about their brother." ”

Amanda immediately understood what Matthew meant, "Once these two brothers fall out, Weinstein Pictures will definitely be in huge trouble, and their split power will not be as big as it is now." ”

Helen Herman nodded, "Harvey Weinstein has tried to steal our gains twice, I think it's very likely that there will be a third or even a fourth, these two times didn't work out, what about the future? ”

Matthew looked at Amanda, "Bob Weinstein has been in New York for a long time, do you have the right person to contact him?"

Amanda only thought about it for a few seconds, then nodded in response, "I'll leave this matter to me." ”

"I have one more consideration, you listen. Matthew didn't think about it either, "Harvey Weinstein has forced so many women, if someone is willing to stand up and expose it, and then mobilize the media to push it from behind, will he be completely finished?"

Helen Herman raised an eyebrow, "This...... The stakes are high, and if you do that, you'll uncover Hollywood's biggest scar. ”

"Although this is not a secret in the circle. Amanda also said, "But be careful. ”

Helen Herman glanced at Amanda and said, "As a woman, I hate people like Harvey Weinstein very much and want him to get the punishment he deserves, but ...... Doing so is risky. ”

Of course, Matthew knows that there are risks, and what Harvey Weinstein did, although not known in the circle, is not a secret, but no one has said that it is a rule that most people agree with.

Breaking this default rule is not something that can be done by one person, and it takes a huge push.

"In the past two years, the feminist movement has grown in scale and has evolved into a social value orientation. Matthew said slowly, "What if the feminist movement is used to promote this?"

He tapped his fingers on the armrest of the couch again, "At the current rate of women's rights, even if we turn a blind eye to Harvey Weinstein, it won't be long before someone will stand up." ”

Helen Herman and Amanda looked at each other and nodded.

"It needs to be carefully planned. Helen Herman is relatively cautious, "There's a lot of work to be done before launching. ”

Matthew smiled and said, "I didn't say to start it immediately, just treat it as a backhand, Harvey Weinstein won't provoke us in the future, forget it, and then stretch out his hand......" His voice suddenly became gloomy, "It's not just his hand that I'm going to interrupt!"

The three of them discussed this matter in the office, and gradually came up with a preliminary plan, but everything was done in secret.

This was undoubtedly a big deal, and the more the three of them talked about it, the more they thought about it, and even dinner was settled in the office, until it was close to midnight, and they left separately.

In the middle of the game, Matthew receives a call from Nebora inviting him to take time out of his way to the Gun Club, saying that the club has a real master, a retired Special Forces officer and former SEAL Team 3 captain.
