In the quiet living room, Rachel Weisz frowned, holding a cup of coffee, thinking about what to say.

Matthew saw that she was thinking about something, but he didn't say anything, and waited quietly.

Why Rachel Weisz came to the door, you don't have to guess to know, although this matter is a little troublesome, he has already decided to reach out.

After all, Rachel Weisz helped him when he started.

A person like him is far from being able to repay his kindness, but if someone who has helped him asks him for help, as long as it is within his ability, he will help according to the situation.

Matthew knows very well that in the eyes of many people, he is a scumbag, but he is a scumbag with principles and a bottom line.

What's more, the person Rachel Weisz has to deal with is Natalie Portman, a person who once poisoned him with Matilda, but now has sold him several times.

Although he has a good relationship with Natalie Portman on the surface, if there is a chance to dig a hole, Matthew will not hesitate to bury Natalie Portman.

Once on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, it doesn't mean unlimited concessions in Los Angeles and Hollywood.

Otherwise, he would have gone to save Nicolas Cage a long time ago.

Uncle Cage's finances are in a mess, the movies he has made in the past two years have become worse and worse, and I heard that he recently received a medieval magic knight movie called "Witch Season", which is estimated to sink for a long time.

spends a lot of money, buys luxury houses and cars, owes debts and taxes, and has several marriages and divorces divided in half......

These are all lessons learned, and they are all reminding Matthew that it is not impossible to spend money, but there is also moderation.

There is also real estate, it is said that Nicolas Cage has dozens of mansions under his name, most of which have never been lived in after buying, and the annual real estate tax is astronomical, plus last year's financial crisis, the real estate bubble collapsed, and the mansion can't be sold if you want to, and it has become a burden.

Then there is marriage, for the rich and celebrities, marriage must be cautious.

Matthew is not yet thirty years old, and marriage is still very far away for him, and it is difficult for a person like him to marry someone with a hot head, even if he gets married in the future, a prenuptial agreement is essential.

Human society has developed to the present, especially in places like North America, divorce is simply too common, maybe when you get married, you want to love until you are old, but who knows what will happen ten years later?

Then again, if men don't have problems, are there fewer women cheating?

Thinking of this, Matthew's eyes fell on Rachel Weisz, Rachel Weisz and Darren Aronofsky met and fell in love from the filming of "The Mummy Returns", and their relationship for many years is not deep, Rachel Weisz even gave birth to a child to Darren Aronofsky, what is the result?

It took Natalie Portman just one month to break up Darren Aronofsky and Rachel Weisz.

This is the normal state of love, and it is the nature of human beings.

That's why James Cameron wanted to kill Jack in "Titanic", so that this couple who loved so much couldn't be together.

With the role settings of these two people, if they both survive, even if Jack doesn't kick Ruth, Jack will be cuckolded by Ruth like Ruth's fiancé.

It's still the pattern that Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet get along with, after so many years, the friendship lasts forever.

"Matthew......" Rachel Weisz finally spoke, "I'm asking you for help again." ”

"Just say something. Matthew didn't mean to excuse himself.

Rachel Weisz put down her coffee cup and said, "After the New Year, filming of "Black Swan" will begin. ”

Matthew is not surprised by this news, Darren Aronofsky has been preparing for this film for a long time, and after Natalie Portman got involved with him, he said that William Morris assisted, and the film wants to catch up with next year's Oscars, and filming must not be postponed.

"Where to shoot?" asked Matthew.

"New York. Rachel Weisz frowned, "The location was in New York, the interior was in a theater in New Jersey, Natalie Portman and supporting actress Mila Kunis and others are training professionally in ballet, a choreographer from New York Ballet is training them, and their stuntmen ......"

Matthew nodded, and Rachel Weisz went on to recount everything she had learned.

"I didn't know where to start. Rachel Weisz gritted her teeth after saying the situation, "But let me watch them move forward step by step towards the planned goal, I can't do it!"

"Calm down, Rachel. Matthew reminded.

Rachel Weisz's voice was cold, "I can't calm down at all, every night, the fire of hatred boils in my heart!" she said hatefully, "I'm going to make Natalie Portman and Darren Aronofsky pay, otherwise I won't be happy for the rest of my life!"

She looked at Matthew, "You help me figure it out." ”

Matthew didn't speak, just thinking about the situations that Rachel Weisz had recounted, and the names of the people she said flashed through his mind one by one, the heroine Natalie Portman, the female number two Mila Kunis, the female number three Winona Ryder, the director Darren Aronofsky, and the choreographer and choreographer Benjamin Miprede......

"I've been with that bastard Darren Aronofsky for years, and it's easy to find connections to find out what's going on on the crew. Rachel added, "But I don't know what to do, how to get justice from Natalie Portman and Darren Aronofsky!"

She gritted her teeth and squeezed a phrase out between her teeth, "I want to kill them!"

"Don't! don't!" Matthew roughly sorted out his thoughts, and quickly persuaded, "Rachel, calm down, you can't row yourself for them!"

He sighed in his heart, this boiling fire of hatred.

Rachel Weisz looked at Matthew again, "I don't know who to call for help but you. ”

Matthew picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked calmly, "Rachel, can you keep up to date with the situation inside the "Black Swan" crew?"

Rachel Weisz hurriedly said, "It's not difficult. ”

Matthew said slowly, "Based on what you just said, I have a plan, but it's hard to say whether it will succeed or not. ”

There is no guarantee of success in this kind of thing, after all, you can't just run in front of Natalie Portman and Darren Aronofsky and force them to do what he wants.

Rachel Weisz couldn't care so much, and immediately said, "Tell me about it." ”

"There are two main points. Matthew's empty hand raised a finger first, "According to you, Natalie Portman's goal is to win the Oscar for Best Actress next year." ”

Rachel Weisz suddenly closed her eyes, "I can't let her step on me to win this award!

Matthew nodded lightly and continued what he had just said, "This is our bottom line and the minimum goal. ”

"Yes!" Rachel replied again, "Nothing else, I can't get Natalie Portman to do it!"

Matthew put down the teacup in his hand, "I have read the script you gave me before, and this film has a lot of ballet, so Natalie Portman has to start professional training." ”

Rachel Weisz nodded, but did not speak.

Matthew added, "But ballet is very professional, and to achieve a good result, it is definitely not something that can be practiced after months of training, unless Natalie Portman and Darren Aronofsky do not want the effect of the dance scenes in the film, otherwise they must use a lot of professional ballet dancers as stand-ins." ”

Rachel Weisz, who had been nominated for an Oscar for acting, gradually understood what Matthew meant.

"I've dealt with Natalie Portman a lot. Matthew said slowly, "I know a little bit about her." Natalie Portman would certainly be striving for the perfect dance scene, and the heavy use of doubles is a given. ”

Rachel Weisz wakes up, "Like Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady?"

Matthew nodded calmly, "You should know better than me that for Oscar, dubbing and large-scale stand-in scenes are deadly." ”

Rachel Weisz seemed to think of something again, and frowned slightly, "In this case, a confidentiality contract will definitely be signed." ”

Matthew reminded, "Since you can keep track of the crew, you should be able to talk to the dance stand-ins, right? ”

"I see. Rachel Weisz's brow soothed a little, "I know what to do." ”

Matthew added, "As long as the crew is in the same shape as we expected, it could leave Natalie Portman with nothing for next year's awards season." He spread his hands, "Ideally, we don't have to do anything, the movie will be made into a big bad movie, so we can just wait and see the joke." ”

"The odds are low. Rachel Weisz sighed, "Darren Aronofsky's bastard has a lot of ideas about the movie. ”

Matthew thought of the Oscar-winning actress of Natalie Portman and knew that the odds of "Black Swan" failing were slim.

As far as he knows, Darren Aronofsky is much more popular than Christopher Nolan on the side of the academy, and is himself a Jewish, and some of the academy's old men have even called him a leading figure in the new force of Hollywood directors in the past decade.

When Christopher Nolan approached Warner Bros. with a plan, Warner Bros. wanted to keep the plan, kick Christopher Nolan out, and then let Darren Aronofsky direct the new Batman movie.

However, Darren Aronofsky gave up and embarked on another path as a director, following the style that the academy preferred.

Rachel-Weisz was silent for a moment, then said, "Is there anything else, besides the minimum goal?"

Matthew stretched out his second finger, "The other is not easy to do, it is just an idea, whether it can be realized depends on your private activities, but also depends on whether Lady Luck is on our side." ”
