"The Expendables?" Matthew said, looking at a formal written invitation, "Is this Sylvester Stallone's new film?"

Helen Herman looked up from behind her computer monitor and said, "Yesterday he just sent you an invitation to play one of the leading actors in this film. She said simply, "The director and first producer of this film are Stallone, which is invested and produced by Millennium Pictures, with a production budget of about 70 million to 80 million US dollars." ”

Matthew put the written invitation back on his desk and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I suggest no. Helen Herman did not hesitate, and then explained, "Judging from the current list of actors invited by Stallone, this is a typical old man for old men to watch movies, although it is the type of action tough guy, but it does not match your positioning at all. ”

Matthew nodded slowly, and the impression of "The Expendables" seemed to be based on selling feelings and the like.

Helen Herman continued, "With so many action stars, how can you guarantee your role? Stallone is the director and first producer, will he let you be the first lead? Also, with such a small production budget, will you still be paid enough for filming and production?"

Hearing her say this, Matthew said directly, "You find a reason why the schedule is not suitable, and push it off." ”

This film is really not suitable for him, not to mention anything else, starring in such a film with a bunch of outdated action stars, is it to tell the outside world that he is outdated?

Matthew feels that it is not a problem for him to last another twenty or thirty years, and many big-name actors in Hollywood are getting older and more popular.

Well, he's only twenty-eight years old now, and it's too early to think about the question of getting older and more popular.

Helen Herman retrieved the invitation, threw it into the wastebasket next to her, and said, "Didn't you tell me to pay attention to Plan B?"

Matthew asked, "There's movement over there Brad Pitt?"

"Just three days ago. Helen Herman gently pushed down her glasses and said unhurriedly, "Directed by Andrew Stanton and starring Brad Pitt and Natalie Portman, Alien Battlefield has started filming inside Disney Studios. ”

"Hmm. Matthew nodded slightly, "I see." ”

Helen Herman glanced at Matthew, had something to ask, and finally put up with it.

Matthew noticed, but couldn't explain something clearly, so he simply asked, "Is there anything else?" I'm going back, I'm too tired from this shoot, I'm going to rest for two days." ”

Helen Herman said, "There's something, there's a lot going on. ”

Matthew leaned back in his thick chair, "Say, hurry." ”

He was indeed a little tired, and Karolina Kokova's performance last night was quite crazy......

Helen Herman quickened her voice a little and said, "Four more things. Disney Studios has secured the Fast & Furious crew a chance to be a guest at next year's Oscars, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has extended you a formal invitation to become a member of the Academy, don't forget to make a cameo in Hannah Montana three days later, and Christopher Nolan wants you to report to the Inception crew next week. ”

Matthew tapped lightly on the arm of his chair and made a quick decision, "It's all down now." ”

As an Oscar guest to promote "Fast and Furious 4", this series he intends to shoot for a long time, the success of "Fast and Furious 4" is very crucial, and he can't let go of every opportunity to attract attention.

Although the ratings of the Oscars have been getting worse and worse in recent years, and the average viewership has gradually fallen to the early 30 million, no one can deny the extent to which this industry gala has attracted attention.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences invited him to join the Academy, which means that he will become one of the more than 6,000 judges of the Oscars in the future, and this can also be done, and there is no harm in becoming a member of the Academy, after all, it is still very rare for a famous filmmaker like George Lucas not to join the Academy in his life.

"Who nominated me to join?" asked Matthew curiously.

The members of the Academy are invited to join by the Academy Governing Committee, and they must have certain achievements in the film industry, and the criteria for judging are mainly talent, high honor and popularity in the industry, or have been nominated for Academy Awards, or have special achievements in a certain field, or have made outstanding contributions to the development of the film industry.

In other words, the members of the academy are not necessarily practitioners in the film industry, and now the academy's more than 6,000 members include bankers, journalists, IT elites, and so on.

To be a candidate for an invitation by the Governing Committee, at least two existing members must be nominated.

Helen Herman said lightly, "Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley. ”

"These two guys ......," Matthew couldn't help but shake his head, "and don't say hello to me, are you going to surprise me?"

He asked Helen Herman, "When will I officially become a member of the Academy after I accept the invitation?" ”

"Before December 30th. Helen Herman roughly guessed Matthew's thoughts, "You're in time for the Oscars." ”

Matthew nodded earnestly, "I can finally try the feeling of voting blindfolded." ”

Helen Herman looked at him and said, "You're so boring. ”

Matthew shrugged, "Isn't that how most people vote?" and he suddenly thought of one thing, "Will there be candidates to canvass for my PR?"

Helen Herman didn't understand what this meant, but felt that there was no good intentions behind it, and said, "There should be, after all, your fame is here, maybe it can affect some people's voting choices." ”

Hearing her say this, Matthew couldn't help but clap his palm, "That's good." ”

He is now a member of the Screen Actors Guild and is seeking to join the Producers' Union, which is expected to be a member this month due to the success of "Twilight."

Then, he will have the corresponding voting rights in the acting awards and film awards.

It doesn't matter if the Best Picture award is awarded, the Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress awards seem to be fiercely competitive.

Actresses are different from male actors, they are all famous as soon as possible, and they must get awards as soon as possible, otherwise most people can only stand aside when they reach the age of forty.

Anyway, it's awards season now, which actresses want to make a difference at the Oscars?

But wouldn't it be impossible to vote blindfolded? He still wanted to enjoy the feeling of most Oscar judges voting with their feet and blindfolded.

He will go to Disney Pictures' "Hannah Montana" crew for a cameo and report to the "Inception" crew, and he will come over on time, the former has promised Walt Disney, which is also conducive to the later cooperation between the two parties, and the latter has signed a formal agreement, and also needs to have enough communication with Christopher Nolan before filming to prepare for the work.

Before he left the angel agency, he specially called Christopher Nolan and chatted briefly, at present, the crew of "Inception" is still in the early preparations, and Christopher Nolan is still selecting actors for other roles in addition to determining him as the leading actor and a few small supporting roles.

Most of the actors who have been confirmed are British actors who have worked with Christopher Nolan for a long time, such as Michael Caine and Cillian Murphy, who have starred in two Batman movies, among others.

In addition, Ken Watanabe, who played a ninja master stand-in in "Time to Go to War", also joined the crew.

Currently, Christopher Nolan is holding auditions for several male roles and two female roles in search of suitable actors.

Having spoken to Christopher Nolan on the phone, Matthew suddenly thought of James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, and perhaps asked if they would be interested in recommending these two guys to Christopher Nolan.

Back at Horner Manor, Matthew called the two separately, James McAvoy originally wanted to find time to propose this year, but he was busy with work, filming one after another, and he had to postpone it for the time being; Michael Fassbender was still the same, and his girlfriend changed one after another.

Both are interested in Christopher Nolan's films, and the schedule for the first half of next year is more suitable.

Matthew took time out of his way to Warner Studios and found Christopher Nolan, who was busy with pre-preparations, and solemnly recommended James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender to him.

Christopher Nolan's penchant for using actors from the British Isles is well known, James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, one is British, the other grew up in Northern Ireland and also has Irish citizenship, which fits Christopher Nolan's requirements perfectly.

Because it was recommended by Matthew, Christopher Nolan reads the information of the two and happily agrees to let the two participate in the role audition.

Including him, they are not Christopher Nolan's descendants, and Matthew is quite satisfied with such a result.

After he couldn't recommend it, Christopher Nolan didn't even look at James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender himself, and directly promised the role, then Christopher Nolan must have something wrong with his head.

The film will start shooting after next year's Oscars, according to Christopher Nolan's plan, in no more than 100 days, and then be released in the summer of 2010.

Matthew has high hopes for the film "Inception", and after "Superman Hancock for All", he also needs a work that has a good reputation and box office.

For the next two days, he hid in the manor to rest, during which he met with Charlize Theron to talk about "The Hunger Games", and then came to Disney Studios at the agreed time with Disney Studios to prepare for a cameo in "Hannah Montana".
