In the Angel Agency's meeting room, Matthew completely left Miranda Kerr behind, and Amanda and Helen Herman were talking about some of the latest information.

"This is a reply from the UNHCR. Amanda handed Matthew an official document, "Most of our supplies for Africa have been distributed, and for a long time, as long as you don't take the initiative to provoke those black people, no one will be able to attack you with the topic of racial discrimination." ”

Matthew flipped through the documents and skimmed them roughly, and they were basically official clichés such as "thanks" and "high praise", but the reply letter ended with the signatures of Anbei and Gutierrez.

Amanda then added, "There are a few supplies that are not in place. ”

Matthew looked at her suspiciously, and Amanda explained, "Where there is politics, there is always corruption, and politics and corruption are the Nguyen Sheng brothers. ”

Matthew understood what he meant and nodded, "I see." He asked, "What's next?"

Amanda handed Matthew a generous proposal, "This is the fundraising and giving plan for the two foundations for the next two years. ”

Matthew would look back and take a closer look, but he would put it aside, "Just say it briefly." ”

"Our giving program is still divided into two parts: the rich and the famous, and the public, and it's a good idea to have a big charity fundraiser every year. Amanda said seriously, "In addition, there are two public donations a year, one for each charitable foundation. We can control the scale appropriately and not have to be ...... like the first donation this year Well, in terms of public opinion, we are neither high-profile nor low-key, and go with the flow so as not to attract attacks. ”

After thinking about it for a few seconds, Matthew said, "Yes." ”

Amanda added, "When it comes to fundraising, it's best to come up with some new ideas, and if they work well, they will help you." ”

Matthew couldn't figure it out for a while, and said, "Amanda, and Helen, you should pay more attention to this." ”

Amanda and Helen Herman both nodded.

Later, Amanda added, "After the New Year, I will have a detailed annual report here. ”

Helen Herman then added, "This time, the philanthropic foundation has saved us from a major crisis, but the next time it may not work." She persuaded very seriously, "Matthew, you have also seen the changes in the social situation in the past two years, especially the general environment in Hollywood, and we can only follow the trend." ”

"Hmm. Matthew fully agrees with Helen Herman, "I know that the social landscape in North America is changing dramatically, and any topic about homosexuality, bisexuality, and blackness can be controversial." ”

Amanda shook her head, "It's self-inflicted. ”

Helen Herman glanced at Amanda and said, "Okay, stop complaining. She turned to Matthew, "I suggest that we find a suitable black organization or black individual to fund in your name, so that there will be a lot less trouble in the future." ”

She sighed, "In the eyes of many black people in North America, black Africans are completely different from them. ”

Matthew had already heard Spike Lee's live rendition and knew Helen Herman was right, saying, "You screen the right targets." ”

Helen Herman wrote it down and said, "There's no rush for the time being, just look for the right opportunity." She asked Matthew instead, "What's the matter with that female model in the recreation room?"

Matthew said casually, "A friend." ”

Helen Herman certainly knew the other meaning of this kind of friend, and nodded, "It's the one in the newspaper today?"

"Hmm. Matthew answered.

"There's a lot of coverage about her today, and it's different from what it used to be. Helen Herman lifted her glasses and said very blandly, "My assistant specially collected some in the morning, most of them are borrowed from you to promote the female model, and the other party may be deliberately hype." ”

Matthew frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Yelena called me this morning and said that someone ...... to a number of gossip media last night."

He didn't go on, Helen Herman understood enough that this aspect would not cause major trouble for Matthew, and she didn't want to interfere too much, and said, "You have taken care of it yourself, I guess I want to borrow you for the position." ”

Speaking of this, Amanda suddenly interjected, "Hey, Matthew, you are so good as a woman." ”

Matthew deliberately put on a proud look, "Then I need to say, I'm a killer of women of all ages." ”

Amanda silently raised a middle finger at him.

Helen Herman changed the subject at this point, "You were with David Ellison last night, did you ask about the progress of the Fast & Furious series?"

Matthew had already told her about the Fast and Furious series and the sequel to The Three Hundred Spartans.

"David is still asking people to assess the market prospects......" Matthew suddenly thought of what happened before the start of the Victoria's Secret show, David Ellison was undoubtedly very upset Vin Diesel, "Maybe David will have some new ideas." ”

"Matthew, there's a situation you need to pay attention to. Helen Herman said slowly, "I just got the news from CAA before I came, Vin Diesel's brokerage contract expires after the New Year, and if nothing else, he will sign a contract with CAA, and someone within Universal Pictures has contacted CAA, wanting to borrow the power of CAA to promote a new sequel to "Fast and Furious". ”

"Oh?" Matthew wondered, "Didn't Universal Pictures cut the series for the time being?"

Helen Herman explained, "This is the personal behavior of individual executives at Universal Pictures. My analysis, probably David Ellison's initial contact with Universal Pictures, led some people to the idea that the series still has value. There is also a possibility that Universal Pictures deliberately put on the illusion that it wants to continue the series and thus offer a higher price. ”

Business is always deceitful, Matthew is relatively a layman, and it is okay to give a suggestion once in a while, but it really has to be practiced, not to mention those experts and veterans of Universal Pictures with many years of experience, and even David Ellison is far above him.

Matthew thought for a long time before he said, "If it's the second possibility, we can still get the copyright as long as we pay the price that Universal Pictures wants." The first possibility, that's troublesome. ”

Helen Herman agrees, "Once there's an interest in moving the project forward, there's a very good chance that Universal Pictures will work with them." ”

She thought for a moment and said, "This is just a very one-sided preliminary information, it can't say anything, I will find someone to continue to investigate, and I will consult with David Ellison if there are specific situations." ”

Matthew nodded, and Helen knew that he didn't have the actual ability to operate business.

In the afternoon, Helen Herman heard more information, and there was no doubt that Vin Diesel would join CAA, but the senior management of Universal Pictures and CAA were only in the most preliminary stage, and there was no support from Universal Pictures behind them, and CAA also had great doubts about the personal behavior of that executive.

But Matthew still called David Ellison, who came to the angel agency, and the few of them discussed until it was dark, and then they left.

Compared with before, David Ellison's proposal for Matthew is not so repulsive and firm, the main reason why he invested in this series was Matthew, if Matthew's character has died, it is impossible to continue to star in this series, and even director Zack Snyder is ready to start another collaboration with Warner Bros.

The risk of a sequel to this series is undoubtedly ten times greater for him.

Of course, there must be reluctance, David Ellison is a businessman after all, although he has a very good relationship with Matthew, but he is not the kind of person who can easily give up after listening to a few words.

Matthew has also made up his mind, and in the coming months, if David Ellison can't make up his mind, then let Helen Herman talk to Universal Pictures to see if he can work directly with Universal Pictures on this project.

And he was able to enlist the support of the original male number one, Paul Walker.

Paul Walker was one of the two protagonists in the first part, and the second was an absolute actor, although he did not participate in the third part, when it comes to the male protagonist of "Fast and Furious", it is now generally believed that Paul Walker.

Matthew also remembered a lot of things that happened on the set of "Fast and Furious" at that time, when Universal Pictures was very dissatisfied with Vin Diesel's difficulty, and later heard Paul Walker mention that if it wasn't for Vin Diesel's important investment, Universal Pictures would have kicked Vin Diesel a long time ago, and in the second part of the sequel, Universal Pictures decisively gave up Vin Diesel.

Even if the first possibility that Helen Herman said is working, there must be doubts within Universal Pictures about Vin Diesel's difficulty.

In fact, what worries him the most is that Vin Diesel will pull the funds and return to this series.

Universal Pictures can't get along with anything, and it won't get along with money, if you lose someone else's money, you make your own money, and everyone likes to do this kind of thing.

Before leaving Angel Agency, Matthew made a special call to Paul Walker, in addition to the investment in the "Fast and Furious" series, the main funds for "Extreme Agent" starring Vin Diesel were also the investment he pulled......

Could this guy really be Spielberg's illegitimate son? Matthew inevitably had this thought, after all, this guy can always get investment.

When he left the angel agency, Matthew didn't expect that Miranda Kerr had been waiting for him in the entertainment room, and on the way back by car, he saw another paparazzi following behind.

In the past two years, his playboy reputation has already spread throughout North America, and the reporter paparazzi often confirm that he spent the night with a certain actress, and it is basically gone, and now is the awards season, he is an outsider in the awards season, in previous years, the attention received in this season was the lowest time of the year, but now there are so many reporters and paparazzi following behind, which is obviously not normal.

Thinking of the words of Yelena Boyard and Helen Herman, Matthew glanced at Miranda Kerr, who was sitting next to him, and decided to talk to her.
