"Ridley invited you to audition too?" Matthew looked very surprised and even shocked, "Orlando, we're going to be a competitor." ”

Orlando Bloom opened his mouth, suddenly not knowing what to say.

Maybe it's because the memory of filming "Black Hawk Down" together is too deep, Matthew is synonymous with absolute toughness in his eyes, he is naturally suitable for playing a soldier or soldier-type role, and he is a standard tough guy, if he really wants to compete for the leading actor in an epic war movie, will he be an opponent?

Moreover, when he was on the crew of "Black Hawk Down", he knew that Matthew could play an important supporting role in the film, and it was the relationship between director Ridley Scott.

In this way, Matthew's advantage in the audition is too great.

In an instant, Orlando Bloom had just met Matthew, and the good mood of seeing Lady Luck was gone, and he quickly thought about whether he could think of a way to prevent Matthew from going to audition? As long as he didn't go to the audition, the advantage of having a relationship with Ridley Scott would no longer exist.

He believes that there must be a way, and he could have thought of a way to snatch the actor of "Van Helsing" from him without Matthew's knowledge, and now maybe there is a way to win this audition.

"So you're going to audition too. Matthew seemed to be talking to himself.

Orlando Bloom looked at him, maintaining a natural smile, "yes, I was a little surprised to get the invitation. ”

Matthew scratched his head deliberately, "That's going to be a bit of a problem." He sighed and said, "Orlando, you're my friend......"

Orlando Bloom wanted to say that since you are friends, you might as well give up, but this kind of words are just spinning in the throat, and it is impossible to be stupid enough to spit it out of your mouth.

"I just signed a contract with Disney Studios this month. Matthew looked affectionate, "Well, Orlando, I'll find a way to turn down Ridley Scott's offer......"

"Really?" Orlando Bloom couldn't believe what he was hearing.

Matthew nodded, "Of course it's true." You're a good friend of mine, I'm not going to compete with a friend for a role, I'm a bit related to Ridley, I'll give him a call and mention you. At that time, you also participated in the filming of "Black Hawk Down", and I think Ridley still remembers you. ”

Orlando Bloom was instantly moved to bow down to Matthew and said, "Matthew, I'm ...... I really know how to thank you. ”

"Don't be too busy thanking just yet. "I'm just familiar with Ridley, and I can't guarantee that you'll pass the audition." ”

Orlando Bloom nodded busily, "I understand...... I understand!"

He is not new to Hollywood, and he knows that there are many uncertainties in auditions.

Matthew, of course, wouldn't call Ridley Scott, he had nothing wrong with his head, and Orlando Bloom couldn't stupidly run up to Ridley Scott anyway and ask.

"Matthew!" Orlando Bloom said very solemnly, "if you need help with something in the future, just ask!"

Think about the last time, look at this time, Orlando Bloom confirms that Matthew Horner will be his iron buddy from now on!

"I'm not going to be polite to you!" said Matthew, deliberately grinning in a joking tone, "I'll remember you." ”

Orlando Bloom laughed, "If you're going to be polite to me, I'll be angry." ”

Matthew laughed heartily, and Orlando Bloom laughed more and more.

The event continued, and Matthew couldn't have stayed here in Orlando Bloom for long, and soon returned to the circle where the Pirates of the Caribbean crew was located.

"Orlando Bloom?" Johnny Depp asked, curiously glancing at where Matthew had come, "Are you familiar with him?"

Matthew nodded, "Spent time in a crew." ”

He didn't say much, after all, this kind of thing is not good to Johnny Depp, you can't say that you keep digging holes, right?

In fact, after he officially signed with "National Treasure", Helen Herman has used this as a reason to turn down Ridley Scott's audition invitation.

Because of the box office explosion of "Pirates of the Caribbean", Matthew and Johnny Depp are definitely two of the most watched stars in the North American film industry this year.

At that time, it was sent along with Michael Bay's audition invitation, as well as Ridley Scott's invitation, unlike Michael Bay, Helen Herman has a close relationship with Ridley Scott, and Ridley Scott has a favor for Matthew, and neither Matthew nor Helen Herman wants to stiffen their relationship with Ridley Scott.

Therefore, to turn down Ridley Scott's invitation, it is necessary to find an open and honest reason.

To prepare for the filming of "National Treasure", this reason is enough.

Although this is a standard business society, and Hollywood is also a business circle, such a thing as human relationships is also very important.

As for Michael Bay's invitation of interest, after the 2004 New Year's holiday, Angel Agency received a joint audition invitation from DreamWorks Film Studios and Michael Bay's crew.

Originally, the crew only provided the character script, but when Matthew participated in the filming of "Band of Brothers", Helen Herman had a good relationship with some senior executives of DreamWorks, and unexpectedly got the full version of the script, which also made Matthew's preparation more targeted.

This is a script of only one hundred and forty pages, Matthew was a little confused after reading it for the first time, his English reading ability has improved significantly over the years, but it is also an ordinary level, and many places cannot be understood after reading it.

Compared to Matthew, Helen Herman sat there and thought carefully after reading the copy.

It is a basic ability for agents to assist customers in selecting jobs, and there are many bases for selecting jobs, not limited to scripts, such as production companies, producers, directors, investment scales and pre-market research, etc., which are no less important references than scripts.

However, the script is one of the more basic options, and a good agent must have the ability to judge the script.

Helen Herman opened the script and read it a second time in detail.

Matthew sat across from him, also looking at the script, and both of them read it very carefully.

After a morning, the two of them did not leave Helen Herman's office at all, and directly asked people to deliver takeout, and continued to watch after eating.

Helen Herman is far above Matthew in terms of academic qualifications and reading comprehension, and after she read it a second time, Matthew only finished reading a little more than halfway.

She didn't bother Matthew, but thought about it.

There is no doubt that this is a script that fits the usual standards of Hollywood, in which the use of human clones as a gimmick is full of science fiction, and the artificial creature of clones is a "man-made thing" that wanders on the edge of science and ethics, and it has a huge topicality in itself.

Then the setting of the male and female protagonists of handsome men and beautiful women, with a certain amount of deep discussion about clones and appropriate action scenes, just reading the script, it seems to have a bit of potential for "The Matrix".

It took more than an hour for Matthew to finish reading the script, and this time, combined with the situation before and after, he basically figured out what kind of story the script told.

According to his understanding, the male and female protagonists live in an isolated neighborhood in the middle of the 21st century with hundreds of residents, and in this tightly controlled, high-tech building, they, like the rest of the residents, are monitored by the "organization" every day, which is supposed to be for their physical and mental health, but behind the scenes there are hidden secrets.

The only hope of leaving this life without freedom is to be chosen to go to the so-called "island", because they are told that after an ecological catastrophe, all human beings will die except for the people who live here, and the "island" is the only unpolluted pure land on earth.

All the inhabitants, including him and the heroine, are all clones of the inhabitants of the "island", who exist only to provide their "prototypes" with various replacement body parts, and their value after death is far higher than when they were alive.

So before the crisis comes, the hero and heroine decide to get out of this hypocritical utopia and enter the real world they never knew, and finally they succeed in dismantling the organization in the pursuit and replacing the identity of the prototype...

Matthew is very clear that this is an era of technological explosion, all kinds of technologies are developing rapidly, and the progress mentioned in the film may appear in the future, and in the past two years, there has been a lot of noise about sheep cloning and other incidents, and many organizations have asked governments to ban cloning experiments, so as not to end up using this technology on human beings.

Hollywood stars like to rub hot spots, and Hollywood movies also like to rub hot spots, and this script is obviously rubbing the hot spots of cloning in recent years.

In fact, Hollywood already has big-budget films that rub off on the hot spot of cloning......

Matthew immediately thought of George Lucas's "Star Wars" series, and the second prequel that has been released is not called "The Clone Wars"? Even the Star Wars series, which is the popular culture of old Americans, has rubbed the hot spot of cloning, which shows how hot the topic of cloning has been in recent years.

He still remembers that some time ago he saw from a hot news program that a certain medical expert declared: Human cloning is inevitable, it is unavoidable, whether it is legal or illegal, it is just a matter of who comes first, and now it is possible to cultivate organs in vitro, so it is completely possible to make human cloning become organ donors.

Therefore, this script is not completely nonsense, it seems to be science fiction based on a certain truth.

There are also a lot of action scenes, and the setting of handsome men and beautiful women......

No matter how you look at it, this is a very reliable script.
