Chapter 870: Severe Patients

"Natalie Portman and New York Ballet's principal dancer, Benjamin Meepide, hold hands on the streets of New York, and the two are said to have met during the filming of 'Black Swan' and have now fallen in love......"

Not long after returning to the crew of "Special Forces 2: Total Strikeback", Matthew saw a lot of entertainment media hyping up the scandal of Natalie Portman, the Jewish actress from Long Island, New York, who seemed to quickly get rid of the sad journey in Venice and found a love of her own.

There are also tabloid reports that Benjamin Midealed kicked out his original girlfriend in order to be with Natalie Portman.

Although Natalie Portman has a poor body proportion and very thick legs, most men are chased by such a famous actress, and I am afraid they can't hold it.

Besides, Natalie Portman is also a bit of a net worth.

Although it can't be compared with commercial stars, Hollywood stars who have become popular, as long as they don't die themselves, make much more money than a New York Ballet dancer.

Maybe many celebrities are like Matthew, and they will never be self-satisfied with money, but the wealth of celebrities is really unimaginable to ordinary people, not to mention the popular stars in the first and second tiers, just talk about TV series with relatively high ratings, those supporting roles with more scenes, and the money you can earn from filming one or two episodes, you can buy a three-story upper-middle-class villa in Los Angeles.

As for celebrities with slightly higher status, there are also many other sources of income, such as shooting advertisements, endorsing goods, and so on.

Female celebrities also have a very lucrative source of income, designing women's clothes or other feminine products, of course, not designed by the stars themselves, there are special companies hired to design, and the stars only need to put on a name.

It sounds like this product or company is owned by a female star, and the publicity effect is not to be said.

In fact, it is often a nominal plus various dividends.

The best at this point are the Olsen sisters and Jessica Alba.

Needless to say, the Olson sisters are a successful model of the all-American girl brand, and Jessica Alba's famous company is worth a billion dollars, and many fans think that Jessica Alba also has a net worth of one billion, but in fact, she is not as good as the Olson sisters.

Even Natalie Portman designed shoes and co-founded shoe brands with other companies, but they quickly drowned in the market wave, because the pricing was too high, and Natalie Portman's fame was far greater than the market value.

Ordinary people are neither interested nor can afford it, rich people who will be interested in shoes designed by Natalie Portman.

Of course, the amount of money celebrities make is staggering, and the amount of consumption is also staggering.

Nicolas Cage, for example, is used to being lavish, making it more uncomfortable for him to shrink his clothes and diet than anything else

Therefore, whether it is on the other side of the Pacific Ocean or in Hollywood, many outdated stars will come back cheekily, in order to pay off their debts and live the life they were used to before.

Fame and fortune are more terrible than drugs, and once you get involved, you can't quit it.

Matthew himself admits that he is already a serious patient with an addiction to fame and fortune.

Like Natalie Portman, she will definitely not give up the fame and fortune she has enjoyed easily, and the entanglement with Benjamin Miepide is probably making a last stand.

I wonder if Benjamin Millepid knows that Natalie Portman is pregnant, or does foreigners have an indifferent attitude towards being a father or a pick-up man?

Matthew was heavily influenced by oriental thinking in this regard, and those ideas of the past still worked, which he couldn't accept anyway, but what an American man thought, he couldn't guess.

Maybe in the face of true love, none of this is a thing?

There was a knock on the door, and Matthew put down the gossip newspaper with "Natalie Portman's latest romance" in his hand and said, "Please come in." ”

This is his producer's office on the crew of "Special Forces 2: Total Strikeback", and it must be someone from the crew who came to see him.

Stephen Sommers, who pushed the door in, greeted Matthew and said, "Have you seen the audition video that you sent over?"

Matthew returned to the crew, watched the audition videos of several new roles first, and immediately nodded, "I've seen it." ”

"Miss Jay's character. Stephen Sommos asked tentatively, "Who do you think is more suitable?"

"A few people are good. Matthew mumbled.

To be honest, he doesn't have a particular favorite, among several candidates, Cobby Smulders and Margot Robbie are relatively familiar, the former has just signed a long-term contract with Marvel Studios Agent Maria Hill, and the latter he once saw Harley Harley, which is so deep that it is crazy to look like, and he still has some impressions.

However, these two have nothing to do with him, and it doesn't matter who plays it.

Stephen Sommers came over specifically to ask, I'm afraid there is his own candidate.

It's just a supporting role, Matthew doesn't really care, and simply asks, "Stephen, are you a candidate?"

The two have a good relationship, and Stephen Sommers doesn't go around the bush and says directly, "Adelini Parridge is good." ”

The name Matthew has an impression and is the tallest of Miss Jay's several cast candidates.

"I met Adelini Parridge some time ago. Stephen Sommers continued, "She's nearly six feet tall and very strong. ”

Matthew nodded slightly, a woman with a height of one meter eight, coupled with a physique like Charlize Theron, will not have a problem with the external conditions to play a strong female military role.

"Most importantly, Adrienne Parridge came from a military family, and although she didn't join the military, she was very familiar with weapons and firearms. ”

"Good. Matthew nodded slightly, "If Paramount Pictures and Hasbro agree, I don't have a problem." ”

In fact, as long as the two of them agree, the candidate for this kind of role can basically be decided, and although Paramount and Hasbro are dissatisfied with the two of them because of the extremely high salary, they still trust their ability in the film very much.

Matthew had a few more chats with Stephen Sommers, the two were old friends, and there was nothing to hide, and he could faintly hear that Stephen Sommers seemed to be in a close relationship with Adleine Paritch now.

Stephen Sommers still has a lot of work to do, and quickly left his office, Matthew watched the office door open and close, and couldn't help but sigh, the Hollywood environment has too much influence on people, and even a director like Stephen Sommers, who has a reputation for valuing family, seems to have fallen.

As for whether Adelini Parridge was really submerged by Stephen Sommers, Matthew has no interest in probing, this kind of trade is too normal in Hollywood.

When he once lived on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, he saw people on the Internet naively ask if Hollywood has any unspoken rules, and some people swear that Hollywood has sound regulations and absolutely no unspoken rules.

Hollywood really doesn't have unspoken rules about the relationship between men and women, because that's the clear rule that you know a little bit about Hollywood.

In Matthew's personal experience, the unspoken rule of Hollywood is mainly money, and whoever has money is in power.

Not only actors, but also directors, producers and investors.

As long as you have enough money in your hands, even someone like David Ellison, who despises the Big Six in Hollywood, can throw money to make a way.

As for pulling in investment or becoming the main character or even the hero and heroine with the help of the family's investment, there are too many.

There are many unwritten rules besides money and relationships between men and women.

For example, who has a backstage, such as a family member with a status in the circle, it is much easier to get on top, and the cousins of the Coppola family and Spielberg's godchildren are undoubtedly typical in this regard.

Of course, having money in the background does not necessarily lead to success.

Because actors need to work with a lot of people, it also involves acting, casting or something, and it also has to have a good relationship with big-name directors and producers, which is relatively complicated.

As for the unspoken rules of going to bed with directors and producers, there are more literary circles than commercial production circles, and TV circles more than film circles.

The TV series is rough, as long as it is not filmed in the audience, the actors' acting skills are almost OK

But in movies, especially for large projects with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, it is useless for an actor to just sleep with the director, first of all, he has to pass the acting skills, which is suitable for a certain type of role, and the other party is interested in diving.

A big guy like Matthew naturally knows very well that all kinds of Hollywood latent girls are sent to the door in large numbers.

But at his level, ordinary people don't look down on him at all.

As a hard-working lumberjack, you have to work not only on the quantity of trees you cut, but also on whether the trees are of a valuable species.

Quality and quantity, that is the real logging tired.

Of course, not everyone in Hollywood is that jerk, and there are directors and producers who are clean and self-conscious.

The former Stephen Sommers counted as one, and now ...... Matthew doesn't know if it's counted.

In addition, the most decent and dedicated director recognized in the circle is...... Christopher Nolan.

The British, who is already in the position of a top director, has not had any scandals with any actresses so far, and Matthew has not heard any gossip about his relationship between men and women.

A lot of the time, he admires Christopher Nolan.

Literate, proud, ambitious, and capable of execution, what a handsome word.

This is probably the more I can't do something in a certain aspect, the more I will admire the person who can do it.

But admiration is admiration, Matthew said that he would not learn and be on par with Christopher Nolan, that would be worse than death for him.

The crew identified all the actors in mid-September, and then set aside two full months for pre-shoot firearms, action and military skills training.

In addition to training, there are also rehearsals for literary operas.

While taking care of his own investment in several projects, Matthew also participated in training and rehearsals, and he was very comfortable with military action themes without much trouble.

It wasn't until mid-October that Matthew temporarily left the crew, as James Win's "Latent" was released in North America on a small scale of 120 theaters.
