For the following week, Matthew stayed on the set to shoot the life-like scenes in "American Sniper."

In mid-January, he attended a pull-up party at Fox Searchlight to cheer on his friend Michael Fassbinder.

Last year, Michael Fassbender made a very artistic film called "Shame", in which his performance was widely praised by critics and professionals, and he also applied for the Oscar for Best Actor.

Not everyone is Matthew, and even though the Oscars are declining, they are still very attractive to most actors.

Since it is an event related to Michael Fassbender, of course, James McAvoy is also indispensable.

"That's right, James. Matthew stood in the corner of the ballroom, looked at James McAvoy across from him, and asked, "When did you go bald?"

James McAvoy took two glasses of wine from the passing waiter, stuffed one to Matthew, and said, "I'm going to change when the crew tells me to change." ”

Matthew looked at him deliberately and said, "You must be handsome with a bald head." ”

James McAvoy has always been confident, "When did I stop being handsome?"

Today, James McAvoy's most recognizable role is Professor X Charles.

The two chatted about "X-Men", and Matthew asked, "Does Michael have a good chance of getting the nomination?"

"There should be a chance. "James McAvoy knows better," he personally shelled out more than two million dollars for public relations. ”

Matthew sighed, "I don't have much influence at the Oscars, so I can't help at all." ”

This is the truth, few of those old men like him, and it must be a disservice for him to convince the old men.

"I can't help it. James McAvoy also sighed, "Hopefully the money Michael threw out will make some difference." ”

Matthew nodded, "I hope so." ”

He watched this movie, whether it was Michael Fassbender or the heroine Carey Mulligan, there were a lot of large-scale shots, which was one of the standard Olympic modes.

If you don't strip naked or show clean, how can you win the Oscar for Best Actor and Actress?

"If you want to win the Best Actor Little Golden Man, there is not much hope. James McAvoy said at this time.

Matthew asked curiously, "Who is the recognized hit right now?"

"The male protagonist of "The Artist". James McAvoy shrugged, "Harvey Weinstein's highlight-hummed award-winning project, black-and-white silent film, old-fashioned acting style, is exactly what suits the appetite of that gang." ”

Matthew nodded slightly, "Michael really doesn't have much hope. ”

This "The Artist" is too much to the tastes of those people, and Harvey Weinstein is the driving force behind it, but even if it wins an Oscar heavyweight, can such a black-and-white silent film pay for itself?

Originally, Harvey Weinstein only needed 10 million to win the film, but he let Bella Anderson intervene in it, and Harvey Weinstein spent a full 20 million to get the copyright.

Such a black-and-white silent film can vote for the Oscars, even if it wins the Oscar for Best Picture or even other important awards, how many audiences will like black-and-white silent films?

Matthew didn't dare to say anything else, he had enough understanding of the film market, and even if the audience who likes art films would be fooled when they entered the theater and saw such a film.

"Huh......" Matthew saw a black woman walk up to the middle of the banquet hall, reached out and grabbed Michael Fassbender's arm, and asked, "Michael got another black girlfriend?"

James McAvoy also glanced over there, "It's just a temporary girlfriend." He said simply, "The woman's name is Nicole Behair, the supporting actress in the film "Shame." ”

With that, he leaned over to Matthew and said mysteriously, "Do you know how she was attracted to Michael?"

There was obviously some earth-shattering gossip in this, and Matthew asked curiously, "Any inside information?"

"Absolutely. James McAvoy pointed under himself, "In the film, there is a scene where Michael is completely naked, and even this place is exposed, it is said that Michael did not ask to clear the scene during the shooting, and Nicole Behaile, who was watching from the sidelines, was fascinated on the spot when he saw Michael's amazing size. ”

Matthew was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It turns out that you can still hook up with a woman like this." ”

James McAvoy couldn't help but laugh, "You know what Michael told me later? He said that when this scene is shown, more women will be hooked on him." ”

Matthew, of course, knew it was a joke, thought about it, and said, "Like...... It seems that Michael has always had a soft spot for women with dark skin. ”

"That's right!" James McAvoy clapped his palm, "You don't say I haven't paid attention, but I also remember that the women Michael dated, even if they are white, are dark-skinned." ”

He looked at Michael Fassbender again, "It turns out that Michael only likes black girls." ”

Matthew nodded slightly, "That's right." ”

The two chatted for a while, and Michael Fassbender temporarily ended his party and walked over.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. James McAvoy looked at Michael Fassbender and shook his head, "So Michael, you've always liked women with darker skin." ”

Michael Fassbender deliberately widened his eyes, "You've discovered my biggest secret?"

James McAvoy didn't hesitate to sell Matthew, "that's what he found. ”

Matthew shrugged, "Michael, it's obvious that the women who appeared next to you had dark complexions. ”

Michael Fassbender didn't mean to deny it, saying, "I'm just a hobby. Like you, Matthew, there are so many hobbies, Asian, European, South American and North American. ”

James McAvoy chimed in, "There's one that Matthew never had. ”

Michael Fassbender understood, "Matthew, you really should try the black girls, their skin is as smooth as top-notch silk." ”

Matthew was instantly defeated, "I can't afford it." ”

I've heard these two guys mention it frequently before, and he has also thought about it, and Hollywood is not without black women who look very pleasing to the eye, such as Halle Berry, and there seem to be black supermodels among Victoria's Secret Angels.

But after seeing the dark skin on the spot, this little thought disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Even if he loves to cut wood, and the forest is vast, it doesn't mean that even the charred trees have to be cut down.

The three of them got together and muttered about women, and Michael Fassbender moved on to Chong O, and with Matthew and James McAvoy, he didn't need to be polite, and said directly, "The Oscar votes have been distributed, and you have to mobilize the surrounding college members to vote for me." ”

Matthew immediately responded, "No problem. He sighed again, "It's a pity it's Oscar." ”

Otherwise, maybe he could help Michael Fassbender more, but Oscar, his influence is low.

It's not that he didn't want to do Harvey Weinstein's "The Artist", so that Michael Fassbinder's chances of getting the nomination will definitely increase, but he is clear enough that on the Oscars, he is far from Harvey Weinstein.

Oscar is not his sphere of influence after all.

Harvey Weinstein continues to bounce on the Oscars, and it won't be long after this Oscars.

Although it didn't have much impact on the Oscars, Matthew still didn't give up completely, and asked Helen Herman to contact the media and release a lot of negative news about the film "The Artist".

In particular, it is well known to those who specifically look for Yelena Boyard to hype up the concept of "The Artist" as a dull and boring black-and-white silent film through popular websites such as TMZ.

Matthew's purpose is very simple, you want to win the Oscar, I really don't have a good way, but your purpose in winning the Oscar, after all, is to get more box office and other aspects of commercial income, through the media to let potential audiences form preconceived ideas, may dispel many people to buy or buy discs to watch.

The failure of a big-budget project would also make people within Weinstein Pictures question Harvey Weinstein's decision.

It's also about helping Bob Weinstein from the side.

After such a long period of operation, Matthew can see very clearly that the Weinstein brothers are definitely not monolithic, maybe Harvey Weinstein has always thought that the weak brother will stand firmly behind him, but Bob Weinstein, who is standing behind him, has long wanted to appear in front of the stage.

Amanda's work has progressed faster in the past six months, and Bob Weinstein is no longer a little brother who is willing to hide behind Harvey Weinstein.

It's just that Ronan Farrow's side still needs time to gather more evidence and witnesses.

Matthew also pulled David Ellison into the group he secretly assembled, and David Ellison's ability to provide both financial support and help connect with media outlets that have partnerships with Oracle is definitely a big help.

The filming of "American Sniper" is going on at the same time, and the filming of the crew has begun to fragment, often filming on the streets of Los Angeles today, and moving to the beach in Santa Monica tomorrow, and the scenes belonging to Matthew are gradually decreasing.

In addition, Chris Kyle comes to the crew from time to time, whether it is Matthew's bias towards tough and resolute styling, or the relevant scenes set by the crew, he is very satisfied with this archetypal character.

When interviewed by relevant media, Chris Kyle was full of praise for Matthew's treatment of the crew, praising them for restoring a true self.

The crew is also using Chris Kyle for publicity, and such a sniper is still easy to be hyped up in contemporary times.

At the end of January, the latest news about Eddie Rolls arrived, and the perpetrator finally went to trial.
