With that plan in hand, Matthew first went to Warner Studios to pick up Alexandra D'Addario, and then went to her North Hollywood apartment together, where Alexandra D'Addario made dinner herself, and after dinner, he took Justin Lin's plan and read it carefully.

Although Alexandra Daddario's body fascinates him, he doesn't forget about it either.

"Did it go well today?" Alexandra D'Addario asked, sitting on the couch opposite, with concern, "Are you sure about the director?"

Matthew didn't take his eyes off the plan and said, "No. But there's a candidate. ”

He picked up the plan and shook it, "This is his shooting and production plan, I just read a little half, it's very good." ”

Alexandra Daddario nodded, and seeing that Matthew's focus was not on her at all, she simply shut her mouth, took out her phone and fiddled with it.

Matthew glanced at her and continued to read Justin Lin's plan.

This plan is very complete, taking into account all aspects, a hundred times more credible than those who want to get the credibility of the work people who want to get the work in the vernacular, in fact, whether it is to fight for the director and the protagonist, or the crew or other important positions in the crew, it is impossible to say some empty words, you have to make people believe that you can do it.

It is not difficult to see from the proposal that Justin Lin has prepared a lot for this directorial position.

He talked about the concept of family, who would be hunted down to the end if he hurt my family, the explosions and car chases that cost money, which the audience loved, and some sketches of the design of the flying car, etc.

Even, the plan also mentions one thing that Matthew and the writers overlooked, Justin Lin believes that this fourth installment will continue to improve and determine the style of the entire series that follows!

In addition to these, Justin Lin paid for his own research company to do targeted market research, and in the first three parts, 75 percent of the audience watching the film were mostly young fans under the age of 25, while 55 percent were male viewers and 45 percent were female viewers.

This is almost exactly the same as the results of the previous sample survey conducted by Sky Dance Pictures.

Seeing that Matthew was busy with work, Alexandra Daddario found a copy of today's newspaper and flipped through it, and when she saw a piece of news, she said to Matthew, "Here's an interview with Brad Pitt. ”

Matthew looked up and asked, "Where?"

"About the movie "Cloud Atlas". "Alexandra Daddario took a quick look and said succinctly," Brad Pitt said that the film has been in early development since June, and will probably start preparations at the end of this year or early next year, and also announced the list of main creators that the crew already has. ”

"Who's there?" Matthew continued.

Alexandra Daddario replied, "The directors are the Wachowski siblings, who also serve as producers, the male and female protagonists Brad Pitt and Natalie Portman also serve as producers, and big names such as Halle Berry, Hugo Weaving and Jim Broadbent have agreed to play the corresponding roles." ”

She looked up at Matthew, "The Wachowski siblings have a lot of appeal." ”

Matthew nodded slightly, "This is normal, the influence of the "Matrix" series is still there. ”

If the Wachowski siblings weren't influential, including Brad Pitt and Natalie Portman, they wouldn't have worked with them.

"Natalie Portman actually doubles as a producer!" Alexandra D'Addario said with emotion, "There aren't many female stars who can also serve as producers, right?"

Matthew said calmly, "Only a few big names in the first line can do it." ”

Alexandra D'Addario added, "Also, Brad Pitt said that Natalie Portman has just become an ambassador for UNICEF and will be in Geneva in the second half of the year to participate in the UN global conference on women, children and refugees. ”

There was a hint of emotion in her tone, "Natalie Portman has made her style very high." ”

Speaking of which, Alexandra D'Addario couldn't help but look at Matthew and laugh, "You have a high style too. ”

Matthew smiled, didn't answer, and continued to read his plan.

Alexandra D'Addario asked, "Aren't you a goodwill ambassador for UNHCR?

"Helen has received an invitation from UNHCR. ”

At this point, Matthew suddenly closed the plan and asked Alexandra D'Addario, "You just said that Natalie Portman doubles as a producer on Cloud Atlas. ”

"Did you listen to me?" Alexandra Daddario grumbled, then nodded, "yes." ”

She picked up the newspaper and shook it at Matthew," Brad Pitt said in the interview, saying that it was he who proposed Natalie Portman to be the producer. ”

Matthew tapped his finger lightly, Brad Pitt can let Natalie Portman serve as a producer, indicating that the relationship between the two is not bad, at least in the filming of the project "Cloud Atlas", it will be maintained in the honeymoon period, and Brad Pitt was also introduced by Natalie Portman to the Wachowski siblings.

Thinking of this, he took the phone he had put aside, edited a text message, and sent it to Helen Herman.

After receiving an invitation from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), he was hesitant to attend the UN Conference on Refugees, Women and Children in Geneva, but now he has decided to do so, and has asked Helen Herman to coordinate the schedule for him.

It's time to make a special trip to Geneva.

Receiving a text message from Helen Herman, Matthew put away Justin Lin's plan, walked over to Alexandra D'Addario, took her hand, and walked towards the bedroom together.

With work over for now, it's time to surf and be busy, and you can't ignore relaxation and enjoyment.

Early the next morning, Matthew received a call from Aziva Gosman and went to Warner Studios to get the latest version of the script of "Superman Hancock for All" from Aziva Gosman.

Matthew had no choice but to throw the previous script aside and study the new script, the theme framework of the new script has not changed, but many scenes have been adjusted, to be precise, the pace of the whole play is faster, the plot is simpler, and the atmosphere has become more cheerful.

He immediately contacted Charlize Theron, who was not in Los Angeles and who had already airmailed the script to South Africa.

In addition to other aspects of work, Matthew also had to re-prepare for the filming of "Superman Hancock for All", and the crew had already accommodated him, in order to cooperate with him to promote the two films "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" and "Transformers", the filming date was deliberately postponed to mid-July.

It's summer vacation, there are two movies directly related to him released, Matthew often leaves Los Angeles to run announcements, often still promoting "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" today, and tomorrow he will go to the platform for "Transformers".

On the basis of his words about toys and nostalgia, the crew of "Transformers" formulated a complete emotional publicity plan, which has not yet been released, which has caused a lot of heat in North America, especially the tightropes, one by one in the media, the Internet and social networking sites, in various ways to remember the bits and pieces of childhood with Transformers.

The impact of sentimental marketing easily surpassed the previous campaign of choosing lines for Optimus Prime, even though the lines selected for that event were very loud - freedom and rights belong to all beings.

This is also the concept of Optimus Prime in the movie, with this concept as the foundation, Optimus Prime can become an undercover agent of mankind with confidence.

From the beginning of June to the end of June, the publicity announcement for the two films has come to an end for the time being, and Matthew finally has time to spare his energy to deal with other aspects.

First of all, on the part of Plan B Films and "Cloud Atlas", Helen Herman and Bella Anderson have been staring at Brad Pitt and the Wachowski siblings, and the project "Cloud Atlas" is also very high-profile, which is the second highest investment in Project B since "Troy", and the previous time there was a Warner Bros. co-investment to share the risk, this time it will be Project B alone.

The project has been very high-profile in order to promote and expand its impact, and all kinds of information can be easily gathered, with a budget of $100 million for the production of "Cloud Atlas", of which Brad Pitt raised $40 million personally, and Plan B raised the remaining $60 million through the Film Foundation and pre-sales.

Plan B also reached an agreement with Sony Columbia Pictures to distribute "Cloud Atlas" globally.

In addition, Bella Anderson also told him the gossip news that recently Natalie Portman and Brad Pitt got close, causing Angelina Jolie to be upset and reportedly having a big fight with Brad Pitt.

All in all, the "Cloud Atlas" project is going well, and everything is on the right track.

Having paid attention to these things, Matthew took the time to meet with Justin Lin a few times, and the bearded Jack's team has ended their assessment of him, believing that he is a relatively suitable director for the follow-up to the "Fast and Furious" series under the current conditions.

Helen Herman is of a similar opinion.

After Matthew and David Ellison discussed, they decided to use Justin Lin, and officially signed a directing contract with Justin Lin at the end of June.

And Matthew also borrowed from Marvel's approach and signed a one-time directing contract with Justin Lin for the trilogy.

Of course, there is also a note clause in the contract, and if the fourth part does not meet expectations at the box office, Justin Lin will naturally be kicked out.

With these things done, Matthew can relax for the time being and go to the premiere of "Transformers" in peace.
