"Damn bald!"

Walking in the office building of Universal Studios, David Ellison complained as he walked, "If I knew this, I would have killed him last time on the Victoria's Secret show!"

Matthew was calm, "Don't get excited, David. People like him are just clowns, and they can't change the overall situation. ”

David Ellison thought about the last negotiation and gradually calmed down, and after spending more time with Matthew, he found himself more and more calm about the unexpected situation. Anger and impulsiveness often do not solve the problem, and the more impulsive and angry you are, the easier it is to make mistakes in the face of unexpected situations.

Many problems are often found to be difficult to solve when they calm down.

In the past two years, David Ellison has grown older and more experienced, and the ideas of those hairy children in the past have gradually decreased.

When he first entered Hollywood, he didn't think that with the financial resources and family power in his hands, he quickly became the top boss in Hollywood, and he became the center point of Hollywood.

Of course, Sky Dance Pictures will be successful in any film it invests in, even if those independent literary experimental films in Europe are brought to North America, they will be box office hits.

When he had just dropped out of USC film school, his mind was so similar to that bullish Vin Diesel.

But the reality is not imaginary, the first few films invested by Sky Dance Pictures all failed miserably, and the stars in the industry not only did not obediently come forward to worship him, but also rejected and even hostile him as an outsider.

Even with his financial resources, with the Ellison family as his backers, a lot of money was spilled, but the effect was pitiful, not only did he not win recognition, but it was difficult to even touch the marginal business of the six major companies.

The reality is like this, and it will not change because of the cranky thinking that the hairy boy couldn't figure out the situation at the beginning.

For him, the real change in his career was precisely after meeting Matthew, Matthew's participation and his own influence changed the situation of running into walls everywhere, and "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" ushered in his first career success in his life.

Thinking of this, David Ellison glanced at Matthew, who was walking next to him, this is a rare person who can make him feel admired.

He has only been in Hollywood for seven or eight years, but he has an extremely unique vision for film selection; he has not received higher education or elite education, but he has exercised his practical ability in the process of climbing from the bottom to the top; he is not a professional media publicist, but he is well versed in the way of propaganda and hype......

He has recently seen more and more clearly that Matthew is chasing those women who are in Vanity Fair, on the one hand, for enjoyment, and on the other hand, it is not publicity and hype.

If he had just entered Hollywood, he would have scoffed at this approach, but now he thinks it makes sense.

A star with entrepreneurial ambitions, if he can't even stir up topics and gain popularity, is really sad.

After entering the elevator, David Ellison straightened his bow tie, and Matthew also straightened the suit that Armani had made for him through the mirror in the elevator.

This is a business meeting, and getting dressed is the most basic courtesy.

As for the glamorous and extravagant clothes, this is nothing to a star.

In the entertainment industry, Vanity Fair, most of the time, luxury goods for celebrities are not greedy for enjoyment, but for work needs. Wearing luxury goods will certainly be complained about by some people, but wearing plain and shabby clothes is more likely to be interpreted as a career decline, on the verge of bankruptcy, and then trigger a series of negative effects.

The elevator arrives on the top floor of the office building, where there are already staff members waiting.

"Mr. Horner, Mr. Ellison. "It was a middle-aged man in his forties," please. ”

Matthew nodded to the man, and as he walked forward, David Ellison followed, passing by an open lounge door, and suddenly there was a familiar voice from inside.

"Matthew Horner!"

An urn-like voice called out his name.

Matthew stopped and turned his head to look inside, where a bald head sat directly in front of the door, staring at him with burning eyes.

"Vin Diesel?" David Ellison also saw the bald head.

The bald head stood up, walked towards the door, and said in a coaxing voice as he went, "Let's talk a few words." ”

The staff member was a little embarrassed, looked at Vin Diesel, then at Matthew, and was about to open his mouth to urge, Vin Diesel said, "Ms. Hall Fina, the director of the film department, is interviewing my agent, and now it has passed and is waiting. ”

Matthew was involved in the last two negotiations and of course knew that Hall Fina was Universal Pictures' representative in this negotiation.

David Ellison looked at Vin Diesel with a cold gaze and whispered in Matthew's ear, "Then let's talk to him, the lawyers and union representatives haven't arrived yet." ”

Originally, Matthew didn't want to delay his business because of Vin Diesel, but when he heard David Ellison's words, he nodded and said to the staff member, "We'll be over later." ”

The staff hesitated and walked alone to the office at the end of the corridor.

Matthew and David Ellison walked into the break room where Vin Diesel was.

Vin Diesel stood in the middle of the lounge, as if the big guy was meeting the younger brother, and stared at Matthew and the two with contempt behind his back.

"Long time no see. Matthew seemed calm.

David Ellison looked at Vin Diesel coldly, considering whether it was time to humanely destroy him.

"Do you know why Universal Pictures stopped negotiations with you?" Vin Diesel said coldly, "why did you change your attitude?"

Matthew didn't answer, and neither did David Ellison, the last two negotiations were between them and Hall Fina in extreme secrecy, and outsiders didn't know about it.

Those who could get the slightest hint thought that Universal Pictures had broken off the rights negotiations with Skydance Pictures.

Vin Diesel deliberately chose to come to Universal Pictures today to submit a plan for the sequel to "Fast and Furious" because he had worked hard to find out that Matthew would come to Universal Pictures to meet Hall Fina.

Due to the strict secrecy of the previous negotiations, he did not know the specific content of the negotiations between the two parties, but he guessed from the surface, after he made a move, Universal Pictures called off the negotiations, and Matthew Horner wanted to get the rights to the sequel to "Fast and Furious", which can only be wishful thinking.

He has financial support behind him and has prepared a proposal, how can Universal Pictures sell the rights to this series again?

More importantly, he didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that the project that Matthew Horner was optimistic about was extremely unlikely to be sold by Universal Pictures.

"Because of me!" Vin Diesel saw that the two opposites did not speak, and pointed directly to his chest, "Because this is my series!"

To be able to snatch something from Matthew Horner, he has an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

"That's it?" Matthew didn't care.

A few days ago, when Universal Pictures called for a halt to the negotiations because they knew that he was behind him, he and David Ellison guessed that the news might have leaked, and the negotiations that restarted later simply reduced the number of people and were held in secret instead, so as not to cause further complications.

Vin Diesel said again, "Don't talk to Universal Pictures anymore, save your energy, from today onwards, the Fast and Furious series will be completely mine." It won't be long before Matthew Horner and you'll see ......"

He tapped his chest again, "I!

"There's something wrong!" David Ellison couldn't help but say, "You think this is the first Fast and Furious?"

"You're right!" Vin Diesel said as a matter of course, "I was the boss of the first "Fast and Furious", I ...... Always be the boss of the series!"

In Vin Diesel's mind, his smile is worth millions of dollars, and his muscles are worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

"Neurotic!" David Ellison said casually.

Vin Diesel glared at him, an arm about to be raised, and Matthew coughed and said, "It's good to have confidence." ”

Hearing Matthew's words, Vin Diesel didn't think about it, and quickly put back the arm that was about to be raised, and his wrist hurt for several days after the night of the Victoria's Secret show.

"It's stupid to be overconfident. ”

Matthew threw down the sentence and beckoned to David Ellison, "Don't waste time here, let's go." ”

With that, he walked towards the door of the lounge first, followed by David Ellison.

Vin Diesel looked at the backs of the two men and said, "When you get into Hall Fina's office, you'll know who's the idiot!"

The two didn't look back, and he said, "When the new "Fast and Furious" I produced is released, I will send you an invitation to the premiere, I am a very generous person and do not hold grudges." ”

Matthew and David Ellison went out of the door, just in time to see a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes coming towards them, and from the other party's temperament and dress, it is not difficult to distinguish that it is an entertainment agent.

The agent gave a curious look at Matthew and David Ellison, then turned into the break room they had just come out of.

Then, Vin Diesel's furious voice came from the lounge, "What? How is this possible, Universal Pictures ......"

The two of them walked farther and farther away, and soon Vin Diesel could not be heard, and after the last secret negotiations, the result was actually determined.

Arriving at the office of Universal's director of film production, Hall Fina, Matthew and David Ellison waited for a while, and the relevant lawyers, notaries, and representatives of the Producers' Union arrived one after another, and then Universal Pictures signed a formal contract with Skydance Pictures.

On the other side, Vin Diesel went downstairs with a gloomy face, but did not leave, and after sending away the agent, he waited alone in the hall on the first floor.

He wanted to see what Matthew Horner, a scumbag who only messed around behind his back, had done.
