As a film with a low investment, the premiere of "The Weather Forecaster" was not large, and Matthew was also very conscious of the guests, and almost did not make any stops, he walked through the long red carpet and entered the interview area.

As soon as he entered the interview area, most of the reporters threw away their previous interview subjects and instantly surrounded him.

Matthew seemed calm, and now he can be said to be a battle-hardened man, even if he is not fully prepared, he can cope with the siege of reporters.

Since it is the premiere of the film directed by Gore Wibinski, and Matthew is Gore Wibinski's collaborator, reporters inevitably ask him what he thinks of Gore Wibinski.

Compared with many commercial film directors, Gore has never been a casual and superficial person about the plot, he can be said to pay attention to the development and cause and effect of the plot, and can always use all kinds of small scraps to piece together a big plot, which makes the audience feel surprised. ”

Matthew had prepared for the answer to this question, and he was quite well prepared, "Gore's work always tends to be comedic or satire, black humor is the top priority, and the process is always joyful and not worrying." ”

After answering this question, regardless of the reporter's continued questions, Matthew went directly into the theater.

"Please go this way. ”

At the door of the theater, a staff member signaled to the second floor, Matthew went up the stairs, and soon walked into the VIP lounge, where there were already many people, most of whom were from the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Gore Verbinsky's most successful work to date is Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.

Of course, Matthew has also seen several stars who have worked with Gore Verbinski in the past, such as Naomi Watts, who starred in the American version of "Midnight Bells".

Unlike the last time she saw Naomi Watts, her boyfriend next to her is no longer Heath Ledger, but a somewhat unfamiliar actor.

Matthew greeted Naomi Watts and other people he knew, and went straight to the circle of the members of Pirates of the Caribbean in the corner to the left of the VIP room.

"Hi Matthew. Eva Green beckoned to him from afar, "This way." ”

"You're so beautiful today. "Matthew came to Eva Green.

Eva Green seems to have a soft spot for black clothes and wore a black low-cut evening dress today.

"Alone?" asked Eva Green.

Matthew nodded, pun intended, "I'm only one person, so I had to come alone." ”

Suddenly, someone came from behind the side and patted him gently, Matthew turned his head, and Johnny Depp came behind him without knowing when.

Johnny Depp leaned in and whispered, "I saw Harvey Weinstein, and he's coming to the premiere." ”

Matthew wondered, "Why is he here too?"

"Who knows. Johnny Depp shrugged his shoulders at first, and then said, "Gore's "Weather Forecaster" is produced by Paramount Classics, and Paramount Classics seems to have collaborated with the Weinstein brothers on independent films. ”

As he was talking, Matthew saw a fat-headed, big-eared Humpty Dumpty enter the VIP room, and those people close to the door of the VIP room, including Naomi Watts, who is now a second-tier star, all took the initiative to greet him, looking extremely enthusiastic.

Humpty Dumpty was very pietropic, just nodding slightly in response.

Although it was the first time he met him, Matthew had read it many times in newspapers and magazines and confirmed that it was Harvey Weinstein.

He didn't expect to meet Harvey Weinstein here, remembering the incident some time ago, and Helen Herman's advice, he said to Depp, "I'll withdraw first." ”

Matthew adhered to the principle of not being able to hide from it, so he wanted to leave the VIP room, but the VIP room was not big, and where he and Johnny Depp were standing, not far from the door, there was also an Eva Green who was quite eye-catching, which had already caught the attention of Harvey Weinstein.

The Humpty Dumpty man walked straight over.

Johnny Depp was very funny and pushed Matthew, "I'll go say hello to him, you go first." ”

That being said, the two sides were so close that Johnny Depp didn't have time to do it, and Harvey Weinstein over there had already spoken, "Matthew Horner!"

The voice was not loud, but it was enough to come through, "It's not easy to see you." ”

Matthew couldn't go any further, smiling over there, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Weinstein." ”

Harvey Weinstein strode over, first at Matthew, then at Eva Green for a few seconds before saying, "Call me Harvey." ”

After he finished speaking, he said to Eva Green, "You're French?"

Eva Green didn't know why, she felt that there was something indescribable in the other party's gaze, and this short and fat shape made her unconsciously feel a feeling of vomiting to her stomach.

But she knew that the other party was a Hollywood bigwig, and hurriedly put on a smile on her face, "Hello, Mr. Weinstein." I'm Eva Green, an actress from France. ”

"Hmm. Harvey Weinstein nodded, "You have a very distinctive appearance, and you will definitely be popular if you have excellent works." ”

This was quite uncomfortable in Matthew's ears, and he interjected with a smile, "Eva is my friend and is participating in the filming of Pirates of the Caribbean. ”

"Supporting roles?" Harvey Weinstein still said, "supporting roles can't be popular." ”

Eva Green glanced at Harvey Weinstein and reached out to grab Matthew's arm, "With Matthew taking care of me, I'm not worried about the character." ”

Matthew's eyes drifted over Eva Green's face, this goblin-like woman, not stupid at all.

Harvey Weinstein changed the subject, looked around at the people who were watching here, and raised his voice slightly, "Guys, I want to talk to Matthew alone, okay?"

Hearing this, the people around him, even old actors like Jeffrey Rush, stayed away from this side.

Then, Harvey Weinstein looked at Johnny Depp, who didn't seem to buy his account too much.

Matthew didn't want his friends to be involved in his affairs, so he nodded lightly to Depp, Johnny Depp hesitated, saw Matthew's resolute attitude, greeted Eva Green, and left here.

In the left corner of the VIP room, only Matthew and Harvey Weinstein were left.

Harvey Weinstein looked easy-going, like a chubby elder, and said, "Matthew, it's not easy to meet you. ”

Of course, Matthew won't see it that way, and said with a smile, "I've been really busy at work lately, and the two sequels of "Pirates of the Caribbean" are filmed together, and I often work overtime to shoot. ”

"You should go and complain about Disney. Harvey Weinstein seemed to believe him, "Do you want me to say hello to the Screen Actors Guild?"

Hearing this, Matthew couldn't help but scold Harvey Weinstein in his heart, if he complained about the crew just because of overtime, it is estimated that he would be on the blacklist of many companies.

This Harvey Weinstein simply dug a hole and waited for him to jump down.

Matthew definitely didn't jump down, as if he didn't understand, and replied casually, "For the sake of generous overtime pay, this kind of thing should not be pursued." ”

He made it clear to Harvey Weinstein that the crew was paid overtime for overtime, and it was useless to complain.

After a few words of temptation, Harvey Weinstein has a preliminary understanding of Matthew, which is obviously not a brainless fool, and should belong to stars with independent thinking ability.

"I spoke to Frank Miller some time ago. Harvey Weinstein cut straight to the point, "You and Zack Schneider started the project "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta," right?"

With Frank Miller here, there's no denying it, Matthew nodded in response, "Let's just say that." After I worked with Zach on "Dawn of the Living Dead", I wanted to work on another film of Zack's ideal, and I happened to see the illustrations of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", so I recommended Zach. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Harvey Weinstein followed up and said, "As far as I know, you are the core and key to this project, Frank Miller was moved by watching your role as Leonida in the clip, David Ellison Ken invested heavily in a small director's project just because the actor was you Matthew Horner, Warner Bros. negotiated the distribution rights with David Ellison's Sky Dancing Pictures, and the most critical factor was also due to your success." ”

Matthew deliberately laughed at himself, "I'm not that important. ”

"No!" Harvey Weinstein's tone was unquestionable, "You're more important to this project than they think!"

Matthew certainly knew that the project would have gone without him, but it definitely didn't go as smoothly as it is now.

But others don't see it that way, and the commercial appeal of him, a successful person, has affected the judgment of many people.

Among them is Harvey Weinstein.

Harvey Weinstein's words are very imposing, just like his status in the circle, very heavy and sufficient, "Matthew, work with me, I can give you everything an actor wants!"

"Uh......" Matthew said, turning his head quickly, "Harvey, it's my honor to have you so much in mind. ”

As he told Helen Herman, whenever possible, it's best not to offend people like Harvey Weinstein, even if it's a refusal, in the most tactful way possible.

Harvey Weinstein nodded, feeling that the other person was a smart person, and he was still very reliable in talking and doing things.

Matthew deliberately pretended to be confused, "My work schedule has been scheduled for two years, and I may need to adjust the schedule." ”

Harvey Weinstein raised his head and stared at Matthew, who was a lot taller than him, without giving him any room to pretend to be confused, and said directly, "Co-production is a matter of the future, I'm talking about cooperating now, cooperating on the project "Spartan 300 Warriors"!"
