Originally, Matthew also wanted to ask Eva Green to have an in-depth exchange, but after receiving a call from Helen Herman, he gave up his previous plan without hesitation, said goodbye to Eva Green, and left the Warner Studios, and a black Mercedes SUV stopped in front of him.

Matthew then got into the car and said to Brown Williams in the driver's seat, "Go to Angel Agency." ”

Starting this week, Brown Williams quit his job as a bodyguard at a security company and officially became his personal bodyguard.

In addition, due to the significant increase in sales of Mercedes-Benz G-Class last year, Mercedes-Benz took back several Mercedes-Benz G-Class off-road vehicles that were originally provided for him, and sent two more customized for him.

Matthew basically doesn't go off-road, Mercedes-Benz deliberately strengthened the road performance of these two off-road vehicles, and redesigned the rear seats, and the rear row of the car was changed to two independent seats, so that Matthew, the passenger, can get a more spacious and comfortable rear space.

After riding a few times, Matthew was very satisfied with the two new cars, and his biggest complaint about the Mercedes-Benz Big G was the road performance and the relatively awkward rear seats.

The car quickly arrived at the Angel Agency, and after entering the company, Matthew went straight up to the second floor and into Helen Herman's office, where Helen Herman was waiting for him.

Since the filming of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was completed, Aziwa Gosman greeted him and wanted to invite him to play the leading role in the new project, and later said several times that Helen Herman had also officially contacted Aziwa Gosman, but because the project was in the planning stage, the two sides only verbally expressed their intention to cooperate, and did not reach a formal cooperation agreement.

However, the box office success of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was a huge commercial success, which strengthened Aziva Gosman's confidence in working with him.

But what is the specific content of this new project, Matthew and Helen Herman have not known, Aziva Gosman has not talked about it in detail out of the principle of confidentiality, the two sides just agreed that if there is a script, it will be sent to Matthew as soon as possible.

"Aziva Gosman's project ......" Helen Herman was not verbose, and said directly to Matthew, "How do you say that?"

She thought for a moment and said, "It's an adapted science fiction movie, and to a certain extent, it can even be classified as a remake." ”

Matthew dragged his chair away and sat across from Helen Herman and asked, "A remake like Dawn of the Living Dead?"

Helen Herman shook her head, "It's different. She shoved a thin document in front of Matthew and continued, "If nothing else, the title of this new project by Aziva Gosman should be 'I Am Legend.'" ”

""Am I a legend?" Will Smith's face immediately appeared in Matthew's mind.

Thanks to the almost crazy pop-up advertisements of Internet web games, he specially watched this movie where one person and one dog at the beginning, all the equipment was picked up, and the game was finished in the end.

"Have you read the original?" Helen Herman couldn't help but ask, seeing Matthew's expression, "Or have you seen the previous two film adaptations?"

Matthew told the truth, "I haven't seen it." He asked curiously, "Is the original book famous?"

Helen Herman nodded slightly, "So to speak. I Am Legend is a science fiction work by the famous writer Richard Matheson, released in 1954. ”

She has clearly seen the sci-fi, "From a modern point of view, the original book still has a very complex and inflammatory feeling, and has been widely regarded as an introductory textbook into the field of modern horror science fiction, not only influencing generations, but also stimulating countless future generations to follow suit." The sci-fi has been adapted twice for the big screen, with 1964's "The Last Man on Earth" starring Vincent Preece and 1971's "The Last Man" starring Chardon Heston. ”

Matthew nodded slightly, and then asked, "Richard Matheson, is this writer famous?"

"Very famous!" Helen Herman, knowing that cultural knowledge is Matthew's shortcoming, explained simply, "Richard Matherson has been named one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century, and for those freaks who are fascinated by science fiction stories, Richard Matherson is a god-like being. ”

"Looks like I'm going to look for the original book. Matthew inevitably became a little interested when he heard Helen Herman's words, "and those two film adaptations." ”

Helen Herman advised, "You better read the script first, and if you're sure you want to take on the play, it's never too late to watch it." ”

She did not explicitly propose whether Matthew would take on the male lead of this sci-fi project, the two began to work together in 1999, and it has been seven years now, and they have experienced a series of large and small projects in the middle, and Matthew's films as the leading actor have been successful one after another.

As a highly professional agent, Helen Herman is not stupid at all, although she has never figured it out, but she also noticed that Matthew has his uniqueness in choosing films and roles.

However, this time she didn't ask too much, and she didn't dwell too much on this matter, Matthew has such ability, which is a good thing for her.

The more successful Matthew is, the more successful she can be.

Of course, curiosity is inevitable, it's not that Matthew hasn't asked in the past, Matthew has been vague in the past, and she hasn't asked again, the two are now working together very happily, and there is no need to have conflicts because of this kind of thing that is beneficial to everyone.

Matthew opened the printing paper, which was only five pages long, and quickly browsed it, the film "I Am Legend" vaguely remembered that it was very widely circulated, as if the evaluation on the Internet was also good at that time, and the pop-ups of many web games simply used a person and a dog in the film as an advertising screen, and Will Smith was also red to purple, which should be a successful work.

A film like this can be placed in the ranks of movies that can be received.

And because of his relationship with him in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", Aziwa Gossman directly approached him and wanted to invite him as the leading actor, according to normal speculation, Aziwa Gossman should not consider Will Smith anymore.

Without Will Smith's competition, the odds of getting the role are limitless if he wants to.

Of course, even if Will Smith wants to participate in this eye-catching, he has the confidence and strength to compete, and he must have a certain advantage with Will Smith.

After going through the script outline and the characters with as few as three characters, Matthew asked Helen Herman, "Is there any more specific information about this project?"

"At the moment Aziva Gossman has not yet decided on a director. Helen Herman said slowly, "If you are going to participate in this project, there is a favorable condition for us, and the producer and publisher of this project will be Warner Bros. ”

Warner Bros. signed a distribution contract for "Three Hundred Spartan Warriors" with Skydance Pictures because of Matthew as the leading actor, and is still very optimistic about his appeal.

"Hmm. Matthew nodded, "That's good news. ”

Helen Herman continued, "According to Aziva Gossman, I Am Legend has a production budget of $150 million and is expected to be released during the holidays at the end of 2007, with the initial shooting scheduled to be between October and February of next year, and there will be no conflict with the filming of "The Three Hundred Spartans." ”

Matthew held his chest with one hand and his chin with the other, and thought carefully, estimating that when Aziva Gosman made the shooting plan, he took into account that he was going to participate in the filming of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta".

He finished thinking and said to Helen Herman, "You inform Aziwa Gosman tomorrow and say that I am very interested in his new project, and the specific negotiations will be discussed after the director is confirmed." ”

Although he once watched the opening of a dog, he couldn't make a decision with a pat on the head, and what if Aziva Gosman found an unsuitable director? For example, Michael Bay directed "I Am Legend", he would not be the leading actor if he was killed.

It's much easier for a director to mess up a movie than for an actor to mess up a movie.

The subsequent contact with Aziva Gosman, how to do it, Matthew completely left it to Helen Herman to handle, which is also the agent's job.

"Do you have any requirements for a salary?" asked Helen Herman the most crucial part.

Matthew didn't hesitate to say, "If it's possible, it's better to get $20 million plus a 20 percent box office share!"

"You have such a good appetite. Helen Herman said seriously, "I'll try my best to help you get it." ”

Her tone shifted, "However, you should know that 20 plus 20 is very difficult. ”

"I know. Matthew thought for a moment and said, "Then let me be a member of the 20 million club first." ”

Hollywood's 20 million club not only represents income, but also reflects the status, fame and appeal of a movie star.

Before leaving work, Matthew left the angel agency with the script outline, went to a nearby bookstore, bought Richard Matherson's original book, and returned to Horner Manor to study it carefully in conjunction with the script outline.

This book tells the story of a man living in isolation and living alone in a modern urban environment, and after reading it, Matthew believes that the essence of it lies in having a man who has to fight against the whole world.

Subsequently, Matthew asked people to find two previous film adaptations to watch specifically in order to have more understanding.

The focus of today's work has been basically determined, and if there are not too many accidents, the filming is "Three Hundred Spartan Warriors" and "I Am a Legend".
