Chapter 898: Old treacherous and cunning
Hearing such an unceremonious voice, Gal Gadot, who was very close to Matthew, turned his head and looked over, frowning slightly, this can't be someone who came to the premiere to find trouble, right?
Limited to starring in too few movies, although she has not seen it with her own eyes, she has heard many people say that Hollywood crews go overseas for premieres, especially in places with sensitive relations with North America, they often encounter people who take the initiative to find trouble, and most of these people are related film practitioners in other countries, mostly producers and directors.
It is not difficult to understand that Hollywood commercial films are rampant all over the world, breaking down the film industry in some countries, causing many related practitioners to be impacted, so that they do not have any good impression of Hollywood.
She had heard her agent say before that there are as many audiences around the world as there are people who like to watch Hollywood movies, and how many film practitioners outside of Hollywood hate Hollywood movies.
Matthew, as Hollywood's number one business superstar, was really approached by such a person......
Gal Gadot took two steps forward and came to Matthew's side, she considered herself the heroine of the film, a member of the crew family, and would never hide in trouble.
And she was also a little worried, if it was really a conjecture, Matthew wouldn't do it, right?
It is rumored that Matthew has beaten Vin Diesel, beaten Justin Bieber, and put down a Mexican drug dealer as if he often had a hand in hand.
Matthew noticed Gal Gadot and nodded slightly at her, looking at the owner of the voice opposite.
The man was about fifty years old, with a hoarfrost-stained beard on his temples, and a light from his forehead that extended to the back of his head, making him a typical bald man.
With just one glance, Matthew was sure that it wasn't someone from this side, it should be a Latino, or a completely unfamiliar face.
"Hello. The Latina didn't speak in a good tone, "I'm Jaspa Nou, a French director. ”
Matthew still has a sense of hospitality and said politely, "Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
Jasper Noe looked serious and asked thoughtlessly, "Mr. Horner, I don't know what you understand about the art of film?"
Hearing the name Jaspa No, Gal Gadot was thoughtful and quickly remembered who this person was.
"I'll talk about this later. Matthew didn't want to argue with anyone at his premiere, and besides, it was a director he didn't even know by name, "After the premiere, you are welcome to come to me at any time to discuss the film. ”
Although Jasper Noe has been unhappy with Hollywood for a long time, he knew that the occasion was not right today, so he didn't say much, and said coldly, "I hope you understand what film art is!"
After saying that, he didn't even have the most basic polite farewell, turned around and walked away.
Matthew only felt inexplicable, this strange director, ran up to him and said some nonsense, what is this?
Gal Gadot reminds that "it could be a director who has been squeezed into the living space of Hollywood films." ”
"Hmm. Matthew nodded, also thought of this possibility, and said casually, "Don't worry about him, this kind of person can be everywhere." ”
Perhaps, a certain movie starring him was released in France, which directly squeezed the screening space of Jaspa Nou's film, and may also make the other party's film excluded from the theater by the theater......
Having said that, apart from a limited number of French directors such as Luc Besson, how many French directors look at Hollywood's commercial directors and stars pleasing to the eye?
Matthew asked curiously, "Gadot, do you know who this Jasper Noe director is?"
Anyway, he was never impressed.
Originally, he just asked casually, not expecting Gal Gadot to give an answer, but he didn't expect Gal Gadot to nod and say, "I've seen his film works." ”
"Oh?" said Matthew, somewhat intrigued, "Tell me about it." ”
Gal Gadot doesn't sell it either, and simply says, "Jasper Noe's latest work is called 'Into the Void', which tells the story of a low-level drug dealer who goes out of his body after death and embarks on a long and fantastical final journey...... Well, how do you say that?"
She thought about it for a while, and then said, "The scale of the film is very large, and by Hollywood standards, at least NC-17." ”
Matthew has a general understanding, and this is probably a typical director who pursues art.
"Oh, by the way, he has a very famous work, you may have heard of it. Gal Gadot whispered, "'Irrevocable' is Jasper Nou's masterpiece. ”
Hearing the name of the film, Matthew had a clearer idea, who Jasper Noe was still not clear to him at all, but the film "Irrevocable" had been seen more than once.
To be exact, he had never watched all of this film at that time, but he had repeatedly watched the nearly ten-minute scene in the middle and the scene at the end.
When he saw the plump heroine, he rarely checked it, and it was because of this "Irrevocable" that he still remembers the name Monica Bellucci.
Remember to find a list of banned movies at random, and this film is among them.
Well, this is the art of high art, art beyond the comprehension of a layman like him.
If these can be called art, isn't the island country and the San Fernando Valley in North America full of artists?
At the main entrance of the VIP room, a couple walked in at this time, the man was seventy or eighty years old, and the woman looked to be in her thirties, a typical old husband and young wife.
The two men walked straight to Matthew's side.
Matthew also saw them, stepped forward, and said politely, "Hello, Mr. Murdoch. Hello, Ms. Tang. ”
"Just call me Rupert. Rupert Murdoch is well aware that Matthew cannot be seen simply as a Hollywood star, "The film is said to have had a good reputation in North America. Matthew, you're going to have another movie that sells big. ”
Matthew said modestly, "Not necessarily. ”
The lady shook his hand and said, "I'm here to welcome you to New York." ”
I don't know if it's an illusion, Matthew felt that Ms. Deng's little finger seemed to pass over his palm.
Thinking of some of the gossip he had read, he instantly had some not-so-good associations.
Of course, Matthew won't show it, maybe this woman is not bad in traditional Western aesthetics, but in terms of Eastern aesthetics, it is really not good.
"Yes. Matthew was still polite, and the point of his words was not that of Ms. Deng, "Rupert, I must visit you next time I go to New York." ”
Anyone can say anything, Rupert Murdoch said with a smile, "Welcome." After the kind words, he suddenly said without warning, "Matthew, you have always been good at investing, and now that the market here is becoming more and more open, are you interested in investing in the media industry here?"
Hearing about the media industry, Matthew was wary, "Oh, Rupert, tell me about it." ”
The lady Deng glanced at Rupert Murdoch and knew that he was trying to find someone to take over, and it seemed that Matthew Horner had such strength, and it was rumored that he was still very interested in the market here.
But Matthew Horner is not the one who grew up in this land like her, and the people who take the bait are often those who know nothing.
Rupert Murdoch once invested heavily in the media industry here, and in order to enter the media industry in this vast market, he even did not hesitate to take the road of saving the country by curves, and took such a wife, but he didn't expect that some outsiders in the industry could not be touched at all.
"Matthew, I've got some media investment here. Rupert Murdoch is very good at making excuses for himself, "I am now interested in acquiring Warner Bros., I urgently need a large amount of money, and I want to transfer this side of the business, I wonder if you are interested?"
"The media industry?" Matthew confirmed.
Rupert Murdoch nodded slightly, "It's the media industry." ”
Matthew was more vigilant, but his face was normal, "I've invested in multiple films, and I don't have the funds. ”
This Rupert Murdoch is simply cunning and cunning, obviously digging a hole for him, ready to make him a pick-up man.
Others may not know, how can a person who has lived here for so long not know?
Moreover, as a person who pays close attention to the film market here and the dynamics of the six major Hollywood companies, he still knows something about the last news corporation of Twentieth Century Fox.
Because News Corp. is definitely one of the companies that started to expand into this market very early, and many of the films of Twentieth Century Fox have opened the door to national television here since the eighties and nineties.
Matthew doesn't know much about it, but he has seen some big road goods from Helen Herman, Rupert Murdoch bought Phoenix TV in 1993 for up to $800 million, and then founded Star Media, and also obtained a license to launch a Chinese channel in South China.
But this was far from satisfying the needs of Rupert Murdoch and News Corp., and in order to really enter the media market here, they partnered with a provincial satellite TV station to buy out the prime-time broadcast rights of the star TV station after 7:30 p.m.
To a certain extent, that time period was to replace the LOGO of Star Media with satellite TV.
Soon, this curved approach to saving the country was stopped, and severe penalties were met, and Murdoch was hit hard and wanted to withdraw from this side.
Rupert Murdoch thinks that relying on certain political resources can break through the limitations of the media sector, but he seriously underestimates the complexity of the market's commercial and political environment.
The money was not less, but it had little effect......
How could Matthew take on such a deal? A fool would invest heavily in the media industry here.
Seeing that Matthew didn't have the slightest intention of investing, the Rupert Murdoch couple quickly went somewhere else, as if looking for other suitable receivers.
Matthew saw that the time was about the same, which reminded the many guests that it was time to go to the screening room.
"Fast and Furious 5" is fully released here at a speed that leads the world.
