​​

As Matthew said, he will definitely pursue Charlize Theron, but not now, but after a while, even if Johnny Depp is a friend, some things he will not say clearly, after all, it is involved In all respects, once it spreads, it will only bring about negative effects.

​​

When the time is right, he will aggressively pursue Charlize Theron publicly.

​​

Due to the impact on the crew, the filming of "Mrs. Smith" was not completed until early September, which took nearly ten days longer than planned.

​​

The day after filming ended, Charlize Theron flew to South Africa, where he was preparing to recuperate and promote the World Cup that South Africa had just won in May.

​​

According to Matthew's understanding, Charlize Theron has an extraordinary position and influence in South Africa.

​​

With the development of Hollywood's entertainment industry, stars are no longer as simple as acting actors. The influence of superstars is beyond imagination, and they will also actively participate in some work outside their own jobs.

​​

Matthew has not yet stepped into the front line. In Helen Herman's words, this aspect has yet to be developed. However, Helen Herman and Angel Brokerage also have plans in this area, and they have already had preliminary contact with the United Nations. .

​​

But in order to gain the halo of a UN ambassador from among his competitors, Matthew's first priority is to expand his influence.

​​

After becoming a first-line big star, you will have a huge advantage in competition in many things.

​​

The day after "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" ended, Matthew came to Disney Studios and met Zack Snyder who was still busy setting up scenes in a small studio that was temporarily rented.

​​

Matthew looked at the green screen all over the studio and asked, "How's the preparation going?"

​​

Zach Snyder pointed to the green in front of him and said, "It is estimated that in five days to a week, the green screen will be fully installed." He exhaled, "I have contacted the equipment rental company, and the camera is ready at any time. In place, I will be the videographer, and I am recruiting the lighting engineer..."

​​

"That's right." Matthew said at this time, "I have already greeted the stylist, and she agreed to temporarily act as a makeup artist."

​​

"That's great!" Zach Snyder looked stressed. "It's not easy to hire a professional makeup artist at a low price."

​​

He pointed to a warehouse next to the studio and said, "Some temporary props are placed there."

​​

Matthew followed Zach Snyder into the storage room, and when he saw several sets of shield swords on the cabinet, he always felt quite familiar.

​​

Zach Snyder seemed to see Matthew's doubts and explained, "After the filming of "Troy", the crew sold some props as scrap to a recycling company of my friend, and I just went to him some time ago to find cheap When I saw them, I borrowed them temporarily and used them.”

​​

"No wonder it's familiar." Matthew muttered, walked to the front of a set of shield swords, took off the short sword lying on the shield, played a few times skillfully, and said, "I remember, this is not in "Troy" The weapon used by Achilles?"

​​

"It should be." Zach Snyder nodded, "We're just shooting a few trial clips, and we'll use it for a while."

​​

He saw that Matthew's swordplay was very beautiful, and he asked, "Is it easy to use?"

​​

"It's okay." Matthew put away the dagger, put it back on the shield, and said, "It's a little lighter."

​​

With his strength, the props and weapons used by the crew were simply not enough.

​​

Matthew looked at the other weapons again and asked Zach Snyder, "Have you contacted the special effects company in the later stage?"

​​

Zach Snyder nodded lightly, "The digital production in Venice is willing to take over this business. They have already started to build the background CG according to my composition."

​​

Matthew turned around in the studio, and only had one feeling: Zach Snyder took this project far more seriously than he did.

​​

"In terms of actors, I also contacted a few stunt performers." Zach Snyder said at this time, "Matthew, when shooting, I need you to be the protagonist."

​​

He has seen Matthew's skills and muscles, and he is definitely the most suitable actor to play Leonidas, and it is easier to impress Frank Miller and the film producer with an actor like Matthew who is very popular and has a strong box office appeal. company.

​​

When it was decided to fight for the film copyright of this illustrated novel, Zach Snyder had inquired, and Dimen Pictures could get the film adaptation rights of "Sin City" from Frank Miller. Promising that Bruce Willis, or a star of his caliber, would play the leading role played a very important role.

​​

"I've finished the work in "Mrs. Smith"." Matthew gestured to Zach Snyder for a phone call, "I need me here, you can call at any time."

​​

Zach Snyder reminded, "There will be a costumer coming over, you can measure your body data before leaving."

​​

Matthew didn't have anything important today, so he said, "Yes."

​​

He chatted with Zach Snyder for a while, and Zach Snyder continued to instruct the workers to set up the scene. Since he was only shooting a trial clip, a lot of work required Zack Snyder to personally supervise and even operate the scene.

​​

After finding a place to sit down, Matthew watched Zach Snyder lead people busy. He heard Helen Herman say it before he came. Zach Snyder had contact with Frank Miller later, and he was still very uncomfortable. Fortunately, Frank Miller is not short of money for the time being after selling the film adaptation rights of "Sin City".

​​

Of course, if Matthew Ken throws out tens of millions of dollars in royalties, Frank Miller will definitely sign the licensing agreement.

​​

But it's not cost-effective to do so. The most realistic problem is that even if he and Zach Snyder are combined, they don't have so much money.

​​

While waiting for the costumer to come over, Matthew was idle and bored. After earning Zack Snyder's approval, he came to the studio's office and looked through the materials carefully prepared by Zack Snyder.

​​

In fact, he and Zach Snyder are very clear that Frank Miller's illustrated novel is essentially an entertainment cartoon, which is different from the records in the historical materials in many ways, just like "Fengshen Romance", with King Wu's attacking Zhou as the background, and then various processing.

​​

If you have to use historical research to explore the authenticity of such an entertainment comic, it is the same as discussing whether "Journey to the West" and "Fengshen Romance" follow history.

​​

The old American side is seriously lacking in history, and most of Hollywood's epic themes also come from Europe.

​​

This is also good. Hollywood screenwriters are often not limited by history, they can always make up their own ideas, and even their own presidents are ruthless when they make fun of them.

​​

For example, a movie about Lincoln that Matthew once watched, even described Lincoln as a vampire hunter, and the old American Civil War was fought because of vampires.

​​

Such special spoof entertainment can often only be seen in Hollywood.

​​

After waiting for about half an hour, the costumer came to the studio. After measuring the data, he communicated with Matthew and Zach Snyder.

​​

According to historical records, the Spartans don't wear clothes when they fight, but they can't do this when shooting, and it will become a restricted level...

​​

As Matthew remembered, Zack Snyder's point was clear, the Spartans should have dark red capes and tight-fitting trousers.

​​

The green screen of the scene has not yet been set up, and the costumes also need time to be designed and manufactured. The shooting of the trial segment will definitely take a while. After the costume designer left, Matthew also quickly left and walked out of the studio.

​​

Instead of leaving the Disney studio, he came to the largest studio, No. 2, and had a brief exchange with the staff at the door, and entered the studio without any hindrance.

​​

The last time Matthew came to Studio 2, this was the treasure cave where the final scene was filmed in "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl". The scene is being built.

​​

Although the filming of the last two "Pirates of the Caribbean" films will not start until next year, Matthew has not even gotten the script yet, but the two sequels that were filmed in the series, adhering to the consistent style of producer Jerry Bruckheimer, in the script Before it is fully established, the scene has already begun to be set up in advance.

​​

However, Matthew estimates that Jerry Bruckheimer may be limited in the future. "King Arthur", which was released in July, made this gold medal producer suffer the most tragic defeat since the 1990s.

​​

Because I was preparing for the relationship of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" at that time~www.readwn.com~ Matthew did not go to the premiere. Later, I found the data and looked at it. The North American box office of this epic blockbuster can only be described as appalling.

​​

"King Arthur" only got a little more than 15 million US dollars at the box office in the first weekend, and then opened low and went low, and both word of mouth and box office failed miserably. Now that it has been released for more than ten weeks, the North American box office has accumulated only 50 million US dollars.

​​

What's even more frightening is that the box office of the film has not risen.

​​

Fortunately, the overseas box office of this film is not as bad as that in North America, and it can also save Disney some money, and it is not impossible to recover the cost after a long period of post-operation.

​​

But the film's box office failure has weakened the aura of success surrounding Jerry Bruckheimer, and I'm afraid Walt Disney won't be completely superstitious about him in the future.

​​

Matthew didn't stay in Studio No. 2 and left soon.

​​

In the following days, he resumed his regular study and training, and then received a call from Zach Snyder. His preparations were not very smooth, and the shooting was temporarily postponed.

​​

Matthew found out that Helen Herman's estimate is very reasonable. Even if the film copyright can be obtained from Frank Miller, it will take two years for the film to be released.

​​

As the time approached October, Matthew met Jerry Bruckheimer again and was ready to participate in the promotion of "National Treasure". The first thing he had to do was to spread the story about a dollar. 19)!!
