Matthew looked up at Helen Herman and asked, "What do you think?"

If you only look at the script when you choose a project, it is as unreliable as a film company that only reads the script for the project, and if you rush to it in a hurry when you only see the script, you may not be able to cry in the future.

A good script may not turn into a good movie, and a bad script may not be a bad movie if it is made into a movie, as long as you know a little about the film industry, you know that this is a very simple truth.

"Let's put it this way. Helen Herman did not answer directly, but said, "As far as I know, the day after Steven Spielberg got the script, he called Michael Bay to explore the possibility of Michael Bay shooting this film as a director, and Michael Bay responded at three o'clock in the morning. ”

Matthew nodded, "Steven Spielberg is very optimistic about this project." ”

"Hmm. Helen Herman replied and added, "DreamWorks is not in a good position right now, and the plan to invest $120 million in this project is enough to prove it." ”

Matthew didn't speak, and recalled again in combination with the script, about the movie about clones, he only remembered watching "The Clone War", and other Hollywood movies related to clones, it seems that there really are none.

Recalling the movies related to Michael Bay, most of the memories are "Transformers", which is a super brainless popcorn series that is more explosive than the other, simpler than the other, and more brainless than the other.

If you remember correctly, the later Michael Bay was only left with "Transformers" to support the scene, and I still remember that when "Transformers 4" and "Transformers 5" were released, the domestic media were overwhelmingly scolding and complaining, saying that Michael Bei Jianglang was exhausted.

Anyway, the Michael Bay films he watched at that time were definitely synonymous with simple and brainless popcorn, and Michael Bay himself was nicknamed Exploding Bay, and his films never discussed issues of depth, just pure entertainment.

But looking at this script, Matthew has a little doubt, such a plot and reaction to the problem of cloning, relative to the impression of Michael Bay's movie, is it ...... A little too complicated?

Except for the "Brave Island", aren't the other movies all looking for a very bloody plot and blowing it up from beginning to end?

Thinking of this, Matthew immediately talked to Helen Herman about his doubts.

Helen Herman listened to Matthew's words, thought about it for a while, and then said, "It seems to be true. She paused for a moment, then added, "I've heard people inside DreamWorks say that Michael Bay assured Spielberg that the film would find a balance between entertainment and the human core, and it seemed like he was going to think deeply about a lot of moral issues in this trip to clone." ”

I don't know why, Matthew has a sense of absurdity, if Helen Herman's words are told to those who have watched the "Transformers" series, I'm afraid many people will go crazy, right?

Matthew simply said, "I think ...... I think this seems very unreliable, right?"

Helen Herman thought for a moment and said, "Maybe Michael Bay wants to take this opportunity to transform." ”

Compared with Matthew, Helen Herman has a much stronger ability to judge the script and many aspects, and it can even be said that her ability is quite outstanding, and most of the time, she is quite accurate in making some decisions.

But it can't stop Matthew from cheating, even if he hasn't seen the film, if the director is a household name like Michael Bay, he can also analyze the success or failure of the film according to the future situation.

If the chances of failure are greater than success, in his current situation, there is no need to take it at all.

As Helen Herman said, with the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series as a foundation, he would rather have less than abundant.

"Helen ......," Matthew added, "at Pearl Harbor, Michael Bay also announced that he was going to transform, and it turned out to be ......"

He instead said, "I think the best thing about Michael Bay is that he can make all genre films into pure brainless action movies. ”

"Do you have an idea?" asked Helen Herman.

"Yes. Matthew stopped going around in circles and directly expressed his doubts, "I think it's okay to work with a director who can make anything into an explosive action movie, but this director wants to add in-depth content to the film, and wants to incorporate a lot of humanistic thinking, it's scary......"

If Michael Bay were to film "The Devil", Charlize Theron would definitely pick up a bomb and blow up the victims into the sky after some struggle.

Helen Herman thought about it for a long time and said, "Don't rush to push it off just yet, it's not too late for us to make a decision when I gather more information." ”

Matthew nodded, not saying anything more, he understood what Helen Herman meant.

After all, this is a first-line super production, and nowadays Hollywood invests more than $100 million a year in films often without ten, it can be said that resources are very tight, such an invitation is rare, if it weren't for the box office super hit of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl", Will Turner was very popular, and he would not have gotten such an audition at all.

As a very confident agent, Helen Herman can't listen to Matthew's doubts and hurriedly give up such a good opportunity, after all, this is completely different from Ridley Scott's project and Matthew's recent needs, and the genre of action sci-fi is very much in line with Matthew's development needs at this stage.

It is also impossible for Matthew to directly tell Helen Herman the source of his doubts, and there is no way to say it, only that it is based on Michael Bay's past films.

This correspondingly reduces the persuasiveness.

However, he has already made up his mind that no matter what information Helen Herman gathers, he will find a way to screw up this audition, and he is the one who went to the audition anyway.

When it comes to true analytical judgment, Helen Herman is undoubtedly much better than him, but he has advantages that Helen Herman simply cannot have.

Although Michael Bay has a very good script this time by looking at the script alone, everyone knows that a good script cannot be directly equated with a good movie.

Indeed, without good creative materials, even the strongest director can't make a good movie.

But in this world where anything can be played, there is actually no "bad theme" in the absolute sense, only "bad movies" in the general sense, that is to say, no matter what the subject is, even if it is a recognized excellent theme, there will be many directors who will shoot it badly, and the post-editing will be finished.

Throughout the vast history of Hollywood films, there are many films that spoil a good theme and a high-quality setting, and they may not be the kind of super bad movies, but they are definitely not successful.

A good script doesn't produce a good film, let alone Hollywood, it can still be used all over the world.

Cloning is a good theme, if Matthew gets the script, the plot is simple and brainless, there is a burst of indiscriminate bombardment, the male protagonist kills all sides like a hanger, and the hero never looks back at the explosion...... Coupled with the fact that the director is Michael Bay, there will definitely be no doubts now.

Michael Bay plays humanistic thinking, so forget it.

Throughout January, in addition to preparing for "National Treasure", Matthew's main job was still to cooperate with Disney Studios' Oscar promotion.

As the time for the Oscar nominations to be announced is getting closer and closer, and the films, actors and directors who intend to storm the Oscars jump up and down through the media almost every day to attract the attention of the judges as much as possible.

This is not so much an art award as a money-throwing game, and whoever throws out more money can make the most noise and get the most praise from the media and critics.

Almost all of the Oscar seeds are praising themselves and belittling their rivals.

For example, Charlize Theron, who has a very high demand for Best Actress at this year's Oscars, has critics criticized her on TV shows: the scene is outrageously narrow, she doesn't know anything except a poker face, and she always has a cold face on and off the screen......

Any Hollywood star, as long as he wants to be black, can find black material 100%.

Therefore, the public relations battle before each Oscars is still the season when the stars have the most black news.

Matthew also has a lot of black material, if you really want to calculate, it is estimated that it can be as high as Hollywood Hills, but he did not actually participate in this Oscar game, even if "Pirates of the Caribbean" is eye-catching, the focus of the attack is still on Johnny Depp.

Even Uncle bin Laden joined in the fun, with al-Qaeda members announcing that they were going to make a show at this year's Oscars, which instantly silenced Hollywood, the FBI and the CIA, and the Los Angeles County Police Department claimed to provide the most comprehensive security for the Oscars.

Until now, Disney Studios has not informed Matthew whether he will fight for an Oscar spot for him, and Matthew is not without malicious speculation that if Uncle bin Laden really makes a shot at the Oscars, it is estimated that many Hollywood stars will be grateful to him.

Maybe he could become a superstar himself.

Every year after the New Year, it belongs to the awards season and the Oscars, and news about the Oscars occupies most of the pages of movie reports.

This is also the time when many old men who have been forgotten by the audience show their influence, and if the film and the characters want to win the award, they must first meet a series of rules they delineate.

At the same time, it is also the season of their harvest.

Helen Herman once said to Matthew that young and active veteran movie stars can earn a lot of money, and if they want to win awards, they must take out real gold and platinum for publicity and public relations, and then let a large number of people share it.

In a way, this is also sheep cutting.

This is just the words of the Helen Herman family, and Matthew thinks she is exaggerating, or maybe she is telling him that with his style and development path, spending a lot of money to win the prize is actually not much good.
