Just after the 77th Academy Awards announced the list of nominees, the 25th Golden Sour Plum Awards also announced the nominations, Matthew and Dwayne Johnson were all on the list, and they were nominated for the worst actor and the worst supporting actor respectively, and the official Golden Sour Plum Awards also sent an official invitation to invite him to the awards ceremony.

In fact, Matthew is a little confused, the audience reputation of "National Treasure" is not bad, whether it is him or Dwayne Johnson, it has also been recognized by most fans.

"It can only be said that the professional reputation is not ideal. Helen Herman circled around Matthew's rented office and asked, "Not redecorating?"

Matthew pointed to the furnishings in the office and said, "There is no decoration, except for the office equipment, which is all left from the front." ”

This is a liaison office, not a company.

Helen Herman came to the window, looked into the distance, and could faintly see the small building of the angel agency, and said, "It's okay this way, it's convenient to have something to do nearby." ”

Matthew nodded slightly, "I think so too." ”

Helen Herman turned the subject back to Golden Sour Plum, "Do you want to attend?"

"I don't want to go. Matthew snorted coldly and said, "I'd like to hire a truck and pull a cart of National Treasure DVDs and shoot them in the faces of those judges." ”

He was a little angry, "I very much doubt that those judges of Jin Sumei haven't seen the film at all, but just read the comments of the film critics!"

"Don't doubt it. Helen Herman said directly, "The jury of Jin Sumei is mainly composed of some marginal practitioners in the circle, professional film critics and a small number of film fans, and the fans are basically negligible, and the opinions of those experts actually influence this award." ”

She was very calm, "Don't worry, as long as the box office of the film you starred in is high enough, let alone the nomination of Jin Sumei, even if you are rated as the worst actor, it will not affect the studio's choice." ”

Matthew shrugged his shoulders, "I just think that there are so many bad movies every year, why can't "National Treasure" be ranked?"

"You don't have a chance of winning. Helen Herman saw it clearly, "The worst actor nominees were Colin Farrell and George Bush. Colin Farrell's "Alexander the Great" has a much worse reputation than "National Treasure", and "Fahrenheit 911" basically booked George Bush the worst actor. ”

She suddenly looked at Matthew, "Fahrenheit 911 also earned Britney Spears a nomination for worst supporting actress. ”

"Hmm. Matthew replied casually, and didn't say much, the original thing is in the past, he took the initiative to change the subject, "I want what you have prepared, are you ready?

"It's ready. Helen Herman continued, "I have already contacted the air traffic control department, and Aziva Gosman and the crew of Mr. and Mrs. Smith will give their full support." By the way, Summit Entertainment is fighting for you a seat at the Oscars. ”

Matthew doesn't find it surprising that it's all about promoting Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

The office door opened from the outside, and Bella Anderson walked in with a large file box, and Matthew beckoned to her, saying, "Bella, come over here." ”

Bella Anderson put down the file box and walked over quickly.

Matthew made an introduction to Bella Anderson and Helen Herman, "Helen, this is Bella Anderson, my personal assistant. Bella, this is Helen Herman, my agent. ”

In the future, these two will definitely have to deal with each other often.

Helen Herman greeted Bella Anderson, chatted casually, turned to Matthew again, and said, "I forgot just now, Zack Schneider flew to New York yesterday to meet Franco Miller again, and my guys are with him." ”

"Hopefully this time it will go a little better. Matthew knew that Zach Schneider had finished post-production of all the preview clips last week, "and it would be better to get the rights to the adaptation." ”

Helen Herman watched Bella Anderson leave to get busy, and said to Matthew, "I watched the finished video clips, which were very offbeat, very special, and very much in line with Frank Miller's illustration style in terms of graphics alone. ”

Although Matthew didn't see it with his own eyes, he had enough communication with Zack Schneider, and if he thought about it, he knew what the picture of the preview clip was like, and he didn't know how Zack Schneider got the adaptation rights and became the director of the series, but now he should be able to impress Frank Miller.

How many commercial authors, especially comic book authors, don't want to turn their works into movies when the conditions are right?

In this day and age, business or comics have the help of movies, not only to strengthen the tiger, but also to soar like the Harry Potter series.

If it weren't for the Harry Potter movies and the promotion of Warner Bros., how could the Harry Potter books be where they are today?

There is no news from Zack Schneider's side for the time being, and Matthew then went to Warner Studios where "The Smith Crew" works with Helen Herman, and met with Aziva Gossman, Charlize Theron and his agent soon rushed over, and the three parties completely finalized the next step and the details of implementation.

In such a competitive circle as Hollywood, not moving forward means retreating, Matthew himself needless to say, Charlize Theron's side, just looking at her agent who can fire her for ten years for the Oscars, she also knows that she has a strong sense of ambition.

Since Charlize Theron was the Best Actress at the last Oscars, this time it was naturally the guest of honor for Best Actor, and Summit Entertainment also gave Matthew a chance to appear on the Oscar stage, although it was only to introduce a film that was nominated for Best Picture, but also had the opportunity to walk on the Oscar red carpet, and the next plan was naturally centered on the Oscars.

In any case, the Oscars are a big stage that everyone is looking forward to, and the average number of people watching live broadcasts in North America alone is more than 30 million every year.

Not only "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", the movies released in the summer of that year in Hollywood will basically make a fuss on the Oscars, such as the male and female protagonists becoming award guests, which is the most common method.

The annual Super Bowl and Oscars can be said to be the two most important promotional positions for Hollywood movies.

After leaving the Warner Fabrics, Matthew returned to his office and began to make relevant preparations, but in the middle of the afternoon, he received a call from Sean Daniel, who wanted to ask him to talk together in the evening.

Matthew and Sean Daniel are old friends, and they have worked together several times in succession, and of course they will not refuse.

But what he didn't expect was that when he came to the café where he had an appointment with Sean Daniel, Sean Daniel was not alone, and there was a middle-aged woman who looked as shrewd and capable as Helen Herman.

"Matthew, let me introduce you. Sean Daniel took the initiative to introduce, "This is Ms. Pat Kingsley, an agent affiliated with CAA. ”

"...... Pat," he said, introducing Matthew, "this is my friend Matthew Horner." ”

Matthew is quiet, among the people who are now in Hollywood, there are a few people who don't know who Pat Kingsley is? She used to be the agent of two big stars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, and then Tom Cruise fired Pat Kingsley because of the Oscar loss, and as a result, after that Oscar, all kinds of black material about Tom Cruise have emerged in an endless stream, and people with a discerning eye know very well that this is Pat Kingsley playing tricks.

"Hello, Matthew. Pat Kingsley smiled professionally.

Matthew shook her outstretched hand and politely replied, "Hello, Ms. Kinsley." ”

Sean Daniel beckoned at this time, "Sit, sit down and talk!"

When Matthew passed by him and pulled out a chair to sit down, Sean Daniel suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I owe CAA a favor back then, you don't have to think about me." ”

Seeing Matthew and Pat Kingsley sitting down, Sean Daniel said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I have something to do temporarily, you guys talk first." ”

Obviously, he didn't want to get mixed up in the rest.

Pat Kingsley also knew this and let Sean Daniel go.

Waiting for the waiter to bring the coffee, Pat Kingsley said directly, "Matthew, I'm here on behalf of CAA." ”

When Matthew saw Pat Kingsley, he roughly guessed her intentions, he hadn't encountered a brokerage company that had poached a corner before, but this was the first time for a CAA level.

He didn't speak, just looked at Pat Kingsley, who spoke very directly, "In the CAA's evaluation, male actors after 1980, including actresses, have the first potential score. ”

"Oh......" Matthew looked calm, "that sounds good. ”

Pat Kingsley's voice changed suddenly, "But people with potential may not become superstars." ”

"I agree with that. Matthew chimed in, "There are a lot of people who think they are geniuses or think they can get ahead if they are talented, and they tend to fall first at the starting line of Hollywood." ”

He is not humble, "Often people like me, who have a clear understanding of themselves, can climb up." ”

Pat Kingsley frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that the young and famous guy opposite seemed to be very clear-headed.

"You have a point. Pat Kingsley still has a professional smile, "But if you want to have a better development, you must have a bigger platform." ”

She gradually increased the speed of her speech, "The angel agency is very small, and so far there is only one real star client, Helen Herman, I also know, the ability is good, but too young, lack enough experience......"

"Ms. Kinsley!" Matthew interrupted, asking, "I like to go straight, do you want to invite me to CAA?"
