Compared with the sequel of "Pirates of the Caribbean", the newly signed actor contract, Matthew's treatment, especially the salary, is a bit worse. Helen Herman had communicated with Matthew during the negotiation. The role of Will Turner, who continues to play, is the protagonist of the sequel to the hit movie "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl". The starring has a huge advantage in negotiation. He has a salary and a role halo bonus. But National Treasure is a new project, and the sequel Halo doesn't exist.

Hollywood has its own system for estimating the remuneration of stars, and the box office of the last two films starring Matthew is an important reference.

Of course, this also depends on the actual budget of the crew.

Helen Herman also made an offer of $10 million for Matthew, which can be said to be a salary for a quasi-first-line star, but with Matthew's current position, he wants to be in a film that is not a sequel to "Pirates of the Caribbean". It is almost impossible to get such a high salary.

If the actor is not rapidly declining, the agent will generally report the salary to the high, and bargaining exists all over the world.

After more than two weeks of negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement on the figure of 8 million US dollars.

According to Helen Herman, with Matthew's popularity and real appeal, a reasonable salary range is between $6 million and $7 million, and the crew finally paid $8 million, mainly because of "Pirates of the Caribbean" : The Curse of the Black Pearl has grossed over $350 million in North America and over $800 million worldwide!

Last week, The Curse of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" was dropped from theaters in Gibraltar, the overseas screening tour basically ended, and the global box office finally stopped at $811.91 million.

This achievement also temporarily ranked the film at the tenth place in the global box office list. In 2003, the global box office was second only to "Finding Nemo" released by Disney Pictures.

The box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" and the role of Will Turner are very popular with audiences. It can be said that Matthew's biggest honor guard today, and his last film "The Scorpion King" has also surpassed the North American box office. 100 million, which is basically in line with the worth of 8 million US dollars.

Although it is only $2 million less than the $10 million when James Franco negotiated, the remuneration of the crew often has a knock-on effect, which is also conducive to the remuneration negotiations between the crew and the directors, heroines and supporting actors. .

After Matthew signed the contract, the crew finalized more actors. For example, the heroine was played by German actress Diane Kruger, and the actor's sidekick was Justin Basha from Angel Agency. The most important thing is On the big villain, the crew gave up the Boromir Sean Bean that had been in contact with before, and chose a super strong man who can really confront Matthew in terms of momentum and physique - Dwayne Johnson!

In order to ensure that the film's rating will not exceed PG-13, Disney Pictures specially coordinated with Jerry Bruckheimer and chose Joe Deterdubar, who specializes in children's films for Disney, to helm the director.

Movies can have some intense action, but an R rating is unacceptable for Disney Studios, and Disney Studios has never made a movie rated R or above.

After the director was confirmed, Matthew met with Joe Detduba specifically to exchange some views on the film and the characters.

At the same time, Jerry Bruckheimer also passed a shooting schedule to Matthew. This film is mainly shot outside the scene, and the interior scenes are mainly the beginning and the end of the two parts, shooting from mid-February , will end no later than the end of April.

May to November is the post-production time of the film, and some scenes that are difficult to set up are designed, and Jerry Bruckheimer plans to generate CGI.

The rating of the film is expected to be PG-13. This rating can not only ensure that the content is hot enough, but also target the main target audience to the youth group. It is especially suitable for release during the Thanksgiving schedule, and can meet the family audience of the opening weekend and Thanksgiving holiday. viewing needs.

The North American release date set by Disney Pictures is still the previously scheduled November 19, the weekend before Thanksgiving.

In previous years, this period was almost exclusively exclusive to the Harry Potter series, but the latest "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" was placed in the summer period.

However, this kind of crowded schedule is certain. The weekend before "National Treasure" has Warner Bros' "Polar Express", and the next weekend there is Pixar Studio's latest masterpiece "The Incredibles", released by Paramount Pictures. "The Adventures of Cotton Ball Squares" was released on the same day as "National Treasure."

Matthew has seen "The Polar Express" and "The Incredibles", and vaguely remembers that they are both animated films, which overlap with the audience of "National Treasure", but today's commercial films focus on the market performance of the first weekend. Released on the same weekend, although the two films have a direct competition relationship, they will basically not form the kind of life-and-death situation.

After Christmas, Matthew received a large number of historical and decrypted materials related to the content of the film from the "National Treasure" crew. As long as you read his resume-->>, the latest chapter of the best movie star will be updated as soon as possible!

In fact, it is not difficult for people to find that his education level is limited, and some basic American history may not be known.

In this regard, Helen Herman undoubtedly knows him better. From the beginning of the formal negotiation with the crew, he has been asked to collect a lot of information for Matthew according to the script. While Matthew is cooperating with Disney Pictures' Oscar promotion, Also flipped more than once.

Many of the stalks in the script that he did not understand were also understood through the information of Helen-Hellman and the crew.

For example, the name of the protagonist Ben Gates' grandfather, John Adams Gates, comes from John Adams, and the name of the heroine Abigail Chase is derived from John Adams' wife Abigail Adams and Davies. Judge Samuel Chase.

There is also the treasure found in the film, which is based on the treasure of the "Templar Knights", the most legendary and most popular treasure hunters in history. As the most powerful secret organization in the world in the 11th century, the Knights Templar were stationed in Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem, where the Templars were said to have hoarded treasures, and then in the 14th century, their possessions suddenly disappeared without a trace.

To this day, treasure hunters around the world still yearn for this treasure, especially in the United States.

In this respect, the subject matter of "National Treasure" is inherently advantageous. It is not something that was created out of nothing, but a suitable film processing through a series of real or widely circulated events.

Before the new year, Jerry Bruckheimer personally called Helen Herman to discuss the shooting schedule. It seems that he also knew that Matthew had attracted many invitations from the crew with the popularity of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Unlike the previous shooting schedule, Jerry Bruckheimer spoke in more detail, and Helen Herman informed Matthew as soon as possible.

After the new year, Jerry Bruckheimer will go to New York, Washington, Boston and other areas to inspect the location with director Joe Deterdubar and others. If there are no major accidents, the shooting will start on February 10th. The exterior scenes will be filmed first, and the exterior scenes are expected to be completed in April, before returning to the Disney Studios in Burbank to shoot the interior scenes.

Although construction of the interiors began in November, it is expected to take about five months.

Jerry Bruckheimer's meaning is obvious, if Matthew has plans to audition for other crews, try to arrange it after returning to Los Angeles or before filming starts.

Matthew is now a second-tier star, and he is a hot second-tier star. Even Jerry Bruckheimer can't force him to audition for other crews during filming.

This is an unreasonable request in the entire circle.

For many things, the two parties communicate well in advance, which will save a lot of trouble in the future.

Every year on December 31st, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences begins to mail Oscar ballots to various judges. The period before the new year is also the most intense time for Oscar canvassing activities.

Matthew temporarily put aside his preparations for "National Treasure" and joined Disney Studios and Johnny Depp to cheer for Jack Sparrow's Oscar nomination for Best Actor.

In a canvassing event, Matthew met Orlando Bloom, who also voted for Oscar for "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King".

"Long time no see, Orlando."

Matthew found a special time to meet Orlando Bloom. Orlando Bloom, like before, came over and gave him a warm hug, "I'm so glad to see you!"

Matthew chatted with him a few words, remembered the big monster movie, and asked, "Is "Van Helsing" finished?"

"finished!"

When it comes to "Van Helsing", Orlando Bloom can be said to be in high spirits, "Van Helsing will be released at the beginning of this summer season!"

Hearing this~www.readwn.com~ Matthew immediately understood that Universal Pictures attaches great importance to and is optimistic about this movie, otherwise it will not be arranged to start in the summer season.

Orlando Bloom said again at this time, "You must go to the premiere! Stephen also means this, and it is estimated that an official premiere invitation will be sent to you soon."

Matthew thought for a while and said, "As long as I'm in the United States and I don't go overseas, I'll definitely go to the premiere to support you and Stephen."

"I knew you were the best friend!" Orlando Bloom had a successful career and was in a good mood, and said, "Matthew, since I met you, I...how can I put it, it's been so smooth!"

He leaned in to Matthew's ear and whispered, "Ridley Scott just sent me an offer this month to audition for a lead actor in a superhero."

"Really?" Matthew pondered a little and said deliberately, "I also received an invitation from Ridley Scott, is it about the theme of the Crusades?"

Orlando Bloom's heart thumped, but his face didn't change, and he said, "Yeah!"
