Compared with "Fast and Furious 4", "Cloud Atlas" has many fewer competitors in the release schedule, and among the movies that opened on a large scale in the same weekend, only Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds starred in a film called "The Proposal", and the second weekend after its release, the most famous of the new films released was also "The First Year" starring Cameron Diaz.

Whether it is "Marriage Proposal" or "The First Year", the investment, fame and publicity scale are not at the same level as "Cloud Atlas".

On the surface, these two films are not opponents of "Cloud Atlas" at all, and it seems that the real competition with "Cloud Atlas" is "The Hangover" released in early June and "Transformers 2", which premiered at the end of June.

It can be said that the schedule of "Cloud Atlas" is very favorable.

On the day of the premiere, Brad Pitt, Natalie Portman, and the Wachowski siblings were all full of confidence.

Matthew accepted the invitation and naturally came to the premiere to see it, and it wasn't just Natalie Portman who sent out the invitation, before the premiere, Touchstone Pictures, which released the film, also sent him a special invitation.

Touchstone Pictures, a subsidiary of Disney that specializes in the production and distribution of live-action films, has a close relationship with Disney, and is now in a short hiatus, so of course he will not turn down the invitation.

However, he was very conscious, and he was relatively low-key at other people's premieres, walked the red carpet very quickly, and after entering the interview area, he only said a few words briefly and was ready to leave.

As he walked out of the interview area, Lana Wachowski, with her long bright red hair, gave him two more looks.

This one is being interviewed.

"Even if the shooting goes very well, the final film will have some gaps from the script. We made a lot of adjustments on set, some to fit the mood of the time, and some to make the film smoother. ”

Lana Wachowski seems to be back in the mood for The Matrix, "All in all, all these adjustments are going in a good direction." The actors we were looking for, Brad Pitt and Natalie Portman, were so good that they could take the characters into something more grandiose and ethereal......"

Listening to Lana Wachowski's interview, Matthew walked out of the interview area and into the Hollywood Theater, and even now, he can't understand why the brothers have to become sisters.

Maybe their ideas are as peculiar as their films, or maybe they've had enough of actresses in the past few years, and it's easier for them to hook up with male actors after becoming women?

Entering the theater, as the red carpet was still going on, Matthew went to the VIP waiting room, and some acquaintances came to greet him, including directors, screenwriters, producers, and film company executives.

The director wants him to star in a movie, the screenwriter says that he has a good book, the producer wants to cooperate on the project, and the senior management of the film company wants the distribution rights of the movie he starred in or produced.

Disney people, in particular, mentioned The Hunger Games to Matthew several times.

Now, "The Hunger Games" is in the early stages of planning, and Matthew did not deliberately keep it secret, the news has long been circulating in the circle, with the big sale of "Twilight" in front of it, and many companies are playing the idea of "The Hunger Games" publishing rights.

Matthew hasn't looked for a publisher for the series yet, but Disney is one of the potential candidates.

and Warner Bros., after all, Disney already has the "Twilight" series in its hands, and the "Hunger Games", which is somewhat similar in type and audience, will be handed over to Disney for distribution, which may disperse resources.

On the Warner Bros. side, the two sides are about to start talks on the "Hobbit" series, and Matthew will meet with Peter Jackson later to determine something more practical.

Now that the Harry Potter franchise is coming to an end, Warner Bros. is also looking for a new series for the teen market.

After dealing with these people, Matthew found a corner, sat at the rest table, and then saw a somewhat familiar person coming in at the door of the lounge, carefully distinguished, and made sure that he was not mistaken, it should be Zhou Gongzi from the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

Immediately, he looked at the poster of "Cloud Atlas" in the room, and Zhou Gongzi turned out to be one of the main actors in the group performance.

However, he was not interested in greeting, the legend said that Zhou Gongzi's personality was very good, but he couldn't appreciate his appearance.

For people like him, it's not a character to pick up girls.

Matthew sat for a while and never saw Brad Pitt and Natalie Portman, and it is estimated that the hero and heroine will make the finale.

I wonder if Angelina Jolie will come?

In the past two years, although Angelina Jolie has not broken up with Brad Pitt, she has not been very happy.

Matthew has heard some rumors in the circle, and he is actually similar to him, Brad Pitt has a lot of lace news, and scandals like what little nanny and little star continue to appear.

Maybe when Angelina Jolie was a third party, she thought it was fun to play some kind of game together, after all, it was cheating, but she became Brad Pitt's official girlfriend, and other women cheated on her head, I am afraid it feels completely different.

Moreover, Brad Pitt's affair with Natalie Portman has never been broken because of "Cloud Atlas".

Matthew is sitting here alone, bored thinking, Angelina Jolie is his noble person who entered Hollywood, maybe he can help her get away from Brad Pitt like he helped her leave Johnny Lee Miller ten years ago?

"I'm a good and grateful person!" he muttered.

People like him and Brad Pitt shouldn't be harming good women.

Although Angelina Jolie is not a woman of good family, she is now shifting towards it, isn't she?

Matthew never saw Angelina Jolie, but found an old friend.

"Hey, Rachel. Matthew beckoned to a woman who walked up to the place, "This way." ”

Rachel Weisz turned her head and saw Matthew and immediately walked over, and Matthew stood up and opened her hands and hugged Rachel Weisz.

"Long time no see. Matthew parted ways from Rachel Weisz, looked at her, and said, "You're still so sexy and pretty." ”

Rachel Weisz laughed, "Matthew, you're still so good at talking. ”

Because Rachel Weisz was wearing a tight-fitting gown, Matthew didn't sit down again, but stood up and said to her, "I really regret it now, I should have pursued you back then." ”

"You don't have a chance. Rachel Weisz laughed and said, "I'm already engaged." ”

Matthew deliberately shook his head regretfully and sighed, "I missed the first goddess in my life. ”

Rachel Weisz pointed at him and said, "And you chose the wonderful world." ”

At this, she couldn't help but laugh, and Matthew laughed too.

Although he and Rachel Weisz are not very good friends, the two met when he was still a young actor, and Rachel Weisz took good care of him in the crew at that time, and the relationship was not bad.

This kind of person who was good to him when he was not yet developing, Matthew has always had a good impression.

"Why did you come to the premiere?" asked Matthew.

"Natalie Portman invited me over. Rachel Weisz then said, "I've known Nat for several years and are very good friends. ”

Matthew nodded, and before he could speak again, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Natalie Portman approaching.

Natalie Portman saw Matthew turn her head and saw her, and immediately greeted with a smile, "Hi, Matthew." She shook Matthew's hand, then hugged Rachel Weisz, "Thank you for coming, Rachel." ”

"Don't be so polite. Rachel Weisz and Natalie Portman parted, "We're friends." ”

Matthew looked at the two men, and Rachel Weisz seemed to really regard Natalie Portman as a friend.

Rachel Weisz, Natalie Portman and he chatted here for a while.

Most of the time it was Rachel Weisz and Natalie Portman talking, with Matthew only occasionally interjecting a sentence or two.

The two chatted back and forth about Rachel Weisz's fiancé Darren Aronofsky's new movie.

"Nat, have you read the script I gave you?" asked Rachel Weisz, "what do you think?"

"It's great. Natalie Portman said with a smile.

Rachel Weisz said with a happy smile on her face, "This "Black Swan" was specially prepared for me by Darren, and from the time we met, Darren began to write the script, and it was not officially completed until a while ago, and he said that he would use this film and the Black Swan to help me hit the Oscars." ”

Hearing this, Matthew looked at Rachel Weisz and then at Natalie Portman, always feeling that something was wrong.

"I envy you. Natalie Portman seems to be a bit emotional, "Darren is very talented, this script and character ......"

She didn't seem to know how to describe it, and said, "It's all made me jealous." ”

Rachel Weisz smiled very happily, "Actually, I've always wanted to invite you to work together, but it's a supporting actress ......"

Natalie Portman didn't know what she was thinking, but she said, "The supporting actress is also very good." She smiled, "I'm interested, Rachel, can I find a chance to talk to Darren about the script and the characters." ”

Seeing Natalie Portman say it frankly, of course Rachel Weisz would not object, and nodded in response, "I'll make an appointment for you another day." ”

Matthew has been watching from the sidelines, and it can be seen that Natalie Portman intends to play a supporting actress role in "Black Swan", and Rachel Weisz seems to be quite happy.

"Okay. Natalie Portman took Rachel Weisz's hand, "I also have a lot of questions and want to find a competent director to ask for advice." ”

Hearing people compliment her fiancé, Rachel Weisz was even happier and said, "Darren is really good, he will definitely be able to help you." ”

The two women were chatting happily, and Matthew didn't interject until Natalie Portman was leaving to greet someone, and he said to Rachel Weisz, "Shall we go into the screening room?"

For some reason, he always felt that something was wrong with the conversation between Rachel Weisz and Natalie Portman just now.
