Chapter 313: The Problem of Receiving Orders (Asking for Subscription)

Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!

When it was close to noon, the flow of people in the hotel was significantly reduced, a door in the corridor on the tenth floor opened, Amanda Seyfried came out first, Matthew then turned around and closed the door, handed the room card to Amanda Seyfried, and the two walked into the elevator room together and went to the lobby on the first floor to check out. Fastest updates

With no one else in the elevator, Amanda Seyfried leaned on Matthew and said, "You're even better than Rachel said!"

Matthew reached out and pinched her cheek and said, "What did Rachel tell you?"

"It's nothing, let's just say that she knows a big star, and that big star is not only charming, but also ...... technical and practical ability."

The elevator stopped suddenly, someone walked in, Amanda Seyfried quickly shut up, stood next to Matthew and quietly took the elevator to the first floor.

Subsequently, the two went out of the elevator room and went to the lobby to check out, and Matthew insisted that he pay for the room.

Matthew stayed with Amanda Seyfried last night, and he didn't understand that in a way, he was the target of Amanda Seyfried's philately, and Amanda Seyfried was also his philatelist.

On top of that, both were happy with last night.

Like 419 and the like, this aspect is actually the most important.

Matthew took Amanda Seyfried to the door of the hotel, ready to leave separately, and just said a word, he found that Amanda Seyfried suddenly waved to the inside of the hotel lobby, and couldn't help but turn his head to look over.

The heroine of "Mean Girls", Lindsay Lohan, a child star, also walked over with a man's arm in her arms.

Matthew didn't want to cross paths with Lindsay Lohan and said to Amanda Seyfried, "I have something to attend to in the afternoon, so let's go first." ”

"Okay, goodbye. Amanda Seyfried smiled sweetly at Matthew, "You have my phone number, keep in touch." ”

Matthew nodded slightly, turned and walked towards the hotel, and before leaving the door, he looked back again, Lindsay Lohan Su was facing the sky, just under the lamp in the lobby, revealing a face full of freckles, and even more exaggerated, her freckles went all the way down the skin of her face, covering her neck exposed outside her clothes.

He really can't appreciate this look, and compared to Amanda Seyfried, who is a year older, and her youthful beauty, Lindsay Lohan has obvious bags under her eyes, and she is a little premature.

In fact, in the gossip media, there are too many scandals and gossip about Lindsay Lohan, from child stars to teen idols, after "Mean Girl" became popular, the bright road did not go, it was all kinds of bad things, and all kinds of ugly photos were photographed every day......

If Jessica Alba is deliberately pretending to be a stupid and sweet brainless chick to please fans and the media, Lindsay Lohan is definitely a typical brainless American chick.

In the past few years here, Matthew has also heard Helen Herman mention Hollywood actresses in this area.

When I was young, I grew up beautiful, I was chased by the school's figures, the focus of the school, I started to pop all kinds of things very early, and I didn't study well, and then I loved to go to nightclubs, I like cool men and bad men, my feelings are basically a mess, there are more or less drug problems, and my career depends on my appearance, and I began to look old when I tossed more than twenty, and cool men began to chase seventeen or eighteen again, and they were lucky to find a rich wife as a vase, and they were lucky to find an honest man to take over again, and the most single mother or went astray.

This kind of person looks sympathetic, but when you see it with your own eyes, she definitely thinks she deserves it, because they don't look down on you at all and think you're the loser.

Therefore, Matthew has already thought about it, and he is determined not to be a pick-up man in this regard, but to let others pick up the plate he doesn't use.

Walking out of the hotel gate, he found that there were paparazzi filming nearby, thinking that Amanda Seyfried had been filmed through the glass curtain wall, and it would not be long before they appeared on the Internet and tabloids.

Matthew doesn't care, this aspect has been fired too many times by the tabloids, and he doesn't have a girlfriend, this is a normal relationship between men and women.

Before leaving the hotel room, Matthew called a taxi, got into the car waiting in front of the hotel, and told the driver to go to Burbank.

He had told Amanda Seyfried that he had something to do in the afternoon, and it was true.

Helen Herman talked to Zack Schneider a few times, because this film is to be ranked after Matthew's several modern action movies, and there is no need to worry about the stereotype of costume characters, so there is no objection, and she feels that Zack Schneider's plan has a certain degree of feasibility and wants to promote the project "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors", but there are clear industry regulations here, and agents and agencies are strictly prohibited from directly participating in the production of the film, and many ideas can only be implemented by Matthew.

"The premise of all this ......"

In the office of the angel agency, Helen Herman said seriously, "It's all about getting the film adaptation rights from Frank Miller." ”

Matthew nodded and said, "That's why Zack Schneider has done so much preparation." ”

Helen Herman leaned back in her chair and said, "Frank Miller is a stereotyped, stubborn and self-conscious person, and it is not easy to impress him, although the illustrations are published by Dark Horse, the copyright is completely in the hands of Frank Miller personally." ”

At this point, she pushed the stack of materials in front of her to Matthew, "This is the relevant information I collected. Since Zack Schneider plans to shoot a video at his own expense to impress Frank Miller, you should cooperate with him. I've already talked to Zack Schneider that you're going to sign a deal with him, and if the film is successful, you're going to buy the adaptation rights in a percentage of the way, and if it fails, you're not going to lose a lot of time. ”

Helen Herman said this, Matthew had thought about it a long time ago, and although he really wanted to promote the project, the most urgent person was Zack Schneider, who was eager to prove to Hollywood and the world that his unique style could succeed!

So, so far, he hasn't taken a dollar out except for coming up with ideas and talking about it, and Zack Schneider is basically doing everything himself.

Now Helen Herman wants the angel agency to intervene, and it is estimated that it will also help.

However, Matthew knows Helen Herman very well, and if she can't do anything, she will definitely abandon Zack Snyder, and the person who will lose the most desperate one anyway.

Thinking of this, Matthew took the information specially collected by Helen Herman and looked through it roughly, most of which were interjections.

300 is a 1998 illustration of the history of the war, created by Frank Miller, colored by Lynn Walley, and published by Dark Horse Comics, based on the Battle of Thermopylae between Greece and Persia in 480 BC.

In 1999, "300" won three awards: "Best Limited Series", "Best Author/Artist" and "Best Colorist" at the Eisena Awards, which are known as the Oscars in the comic book industry.

In addition, Frank Miller personally owns the copyright of this illustration, and it was because he was dissatisfied with the restrictions imposed on comic creators by the two giants of the American comic industry, DC and Marvel, that he switched to Dark Horse to publish the illustrations "Sin City" and "300".

"It's just an intention, there's too much uncertainty, we don't have to do much upfront, we can help Zack Schneider, everything is based on him. ”

Helen Herman made it clear that the loss was also for Zack Schneider, and she raised her voice slightly and said, "There are a few points that I need to remind you of. ”

Matthew put down the information and looked at Helen Herman, "Say it." ”

Helen Herman held up a finger, "First of all, even if you and Zack Schneider can impress Frank Miller and successfully get the film rights, it will take quite a long time to turn it into a real movie." ”

In the past, Matthew participated in the filming and production of movies as an actor, and the actor belonged to the type of work that was involved in the crew late.

"You won't be able to shoot the preview until around the end of August. Helen Herman added, "Zack Schneider wants to use CG technology for rendering, even if it is the fastest calculation, it will take December to get the finished product, and then he will convince Frank Miller to negotiate the rights of the two parties, and then prepare, shoot and produce the film, and in my estimation, if everything goes well, the film will not be released until two or even two and a half years later." ”

She added, "If it weren't for that, I wouldn't let you continue to take on costume action roles." ”

As long as "National Treasure" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" are successful at the box office, they don't have to worry much about the finalization of the drama when they take on costume roles.

Matthew didn't know much about filmmaking, but he had been in contact with many producers and knew that Helen Herman's estimate was fast.

According to Sean Daniel, it takes more than two years to prepare and shoot a film that costs tens of millions of dollars, which is absolutely efficient, and few directors or producers in Hollywood can shoot one film a year.

Helen Herman put up a second finger at this time, "Secondly, to win the copyright, we also need to find a suitable production company and distribution company, especially the production company, we need to find someone to invest money, once the film fails, someone can pay for us, not that we go bankrupt." ”

Even if Matthew doesn't know anything about filmmaking, if you think about the film you once watched, you know that without an investment of more than $50 million, it can't be made at all.

Together with Zack Snyder, he and Zack Snyder can't come up with 50 million dollars, and it is inevitable to find production companies and investors.

"I'll be keeping an eye on this project. Helen Herman concluded, "As long as I get the rights, I can get a professional to help Zack Schneider with various plans to impress the production company." ”
