Best Movie Star

As the referrer, Jennifer Aniston left after giving introductions to Matthew and David Ellison, but would look there from time to time. Since the beginning of this year, there have been rumors in the circle that Matthew Huo Na is a standard scheming guy. What does he want to do with the young and relatively inexperienced David Ellison?

She was a little curious, and believed that the rumors about Matthew Horner were true. A person who could climb from street gangster and little driver to second-tier star would not be a simple-minded idiot anyway.

"You're welcome, David."

On the other side, Matthew exchanged a few words with David Ellison, and gradually became familiar with him, "You call me Matthew."

David Ellison saw the familiar face of Matthew and said, "Matthew, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Me too." Matthew stretched out his hand again and shook hands with David Ellison. "It's nice to meet you, too."

David Ellison smiled, but didn't speak again. He was young and inexperienced, but he was not a fool. He clearly remembered that he had no previous intersection with Matthew Horner.

Matthew Horner took the initiative to find what he wanted to do? David Ellison looked at the other person's sculptural facial contours, his head turned quickly, this is a popular movie star whose popularity, appeal and commercial value far exceed the little green goblin James Franco. On him...

"David, I made a special trip to thank you." Matthew wanted to find a way to get closer to David Ellison, and he had already had a corresponding strategy.

"Thank you?" David Ellison was a little confused.

"The National Treasure sold so well that I benefited a lot." Matthew asked strangely, "Don't you know how I got this role?"

David Ellison shook his head. He only knew that "National Treasure" was a huge hit and was a huge success. If he could invest in such a project, it would definitely open up the situation in Hollywood.

Matthew went on to say, "The original starring of "National Treasure" was James Franco. James Franco rejected the role, and the crew chose me."

"It turned out to be so." David Ellison suddenly realized, remembering the events of last year, and said, "It's just a coincidence, you're welcome."

"No, no, no..." Matthew waved his hand, "If it weren't for your investment, there wouldn't be my hero in "National Treasure"."

When he came over, he brought a glass of wine, and then he picked it up and said to David Ellison, "David, I must toast you."

David Ellison's mind turned quickly, thinking of the commercial value and box office appeal of the man in front of him, it is not a bad thing for him to owe a small favor.

He picked up the wine glass in front of him and touched Matthew lightly, "Then I'll be welcome."

Matthew laughed and shared a toast with David Ellison.

Putting down his glass, he was about to turn to the topic, but David Ellison suddenly said, "Last week, I watched "Pirates of the Caribbean" starring you and Johnny Depp again, a very wonderful movie, It makes people want to watch it again after watching it once.”

Hearing this, Matthew realized what David Ellison might want to say, and swallowed the words he was about to say.

"Such a wonderful movie can always arouse people's appetite, and people can't wait to know the follow-up progress." Sure enough, David Ellison asked after finishing speaking, "Matthew, when will the filming of the sequel start? "

"It's coming." Matthew thought for a while and said, "Probably in May."

David Ellison went on to ask, "The investment must be high, right?"

Matthew answered vaguely, "I don't know exactly how much the investment will be." He glanced at David Ellison, "But it is certain that the cost of a single production exceeds $200 million."

"Twenty million dollars?" David Ellison seemed a little surprised. "Such a high investment."

But in a flash, he added, "The cost of a single production is 200 million US dollars, and the cost of two films is more than 400 million US dollars. Even Disney Pictures can't afford it."

Matthew nodded and let Disney Pictures alone spend more than $400 million in budget, that is not realistic.

David Ellison saw that the results of the test were good, and said in a timely manner, "Matthew, I have a large amount of money in my hand, and I have been looking for suitable film projects." He deliberately mentioned, "I have invested in James Franco. "The King of the Apes," which will be released in June."

Matthew answered immediately, "Is there a premiere? I'll definitely be there to support it."

David Ellison didn't mention this to get Matthew to join him. He simply said, "Matthew, don't you want to thank me? In this way, you introduced me to the people at Disney Pictures."

Matthew looked at David Ellison again. The other party was not as old as him. He was probably nurtured by his family environment and already had the character of a businessman.

"I can introduce you to Disney Pictures." Matthew quickly thought of a solution and asked, "David, do you want to invest in the last two sequels of "Pirates of the Caribbean"?"

David Ellison directly admitted, "That's right."

Matthew looked serious and said, "David, my referral will not have any effect." He quickly explained, "First, Disney Pictures has completed financing; second, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series can be profitable It is expected that Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer will not let anyone intervene, and the financing is mainly based on pure bank loans, and no outsiders will share the income at all; third, you overestimate my weight. ."

With a long sigh, Matthew added, "When I was negotiating a contract with Disney Pictures, I proposed to bring money into the group..."

Although this is false, the previous words are all true. The two sequels of "Pirates of the Caribbean" are not short of money. After all, this is the sequel to the super-selling movie.

David Ellison asked curiously, "Didn't Disney Pictures agree?"

"Definitely refuse!" What Matthew said was mixed with a few falsehoods in most of the truth, and the falsehoods also conformed to the basic situation of the industry, "Disney Pictures would rather increase my salary than allow me Bring capital into the group.”

He also emphasized, "It's not just me, many film funds and investment institutions that are interested in investing have been rejected by Disney Pictures without exception."

David Ellison thought for a while and said regretfully, "I'm still thinking about being able to work with such an excellent star as you, but now it seems that the chance is not big."

Matthew remained silent, but then continued David Ellison's words, "David, do you really want to work with me?"

David Ellison's previous remarks were completely polite. Now when he heard Matthew say this, he subconsciously wanted to shake his head, and then he woke up. In front of him, he could be said to be one of the Hollywood male stars with the best commercial box office results in the past two years. .

"Um..." David Ellison said after a moment's hesitation, "Of course."

He immediately gave a reasonable explanation, "I am an investor, and you are a very appealing movie star. Of course I want to cooperate with you. Let me ask which investor does not want to cooperate with a star like you."

Although the sequel to the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series is gone, there are quite a few blockbuster movies starring Matthew Horner, such as the sequels of "National Treasure" and "Dawn of the Living Dead."

Speaking of this, there is no need to go around in circles, Matthew said directly, "I have a project in my hand, which has just started and needs someone to inject capital."

Listening to what Matthew meant, David Ellison didn't seem to be a sequel to the previous blockbuster movies, and couldn't help but ask, "What project?"

Hollywood is talking about him being a mindless idiot, but his money isn't blowing in the wind either.

However, he added another question, "Will there be planes in the movie?"

"Airplane?" Matthew couldn't understand. "Does this have anything to do with the plane?"

He didn't need David Ellison to explain, and said, "Do you know the illustration for "The Three Hundred Spartans"? Zach Snyder and I, the director of "Dawn of the Living Dead", are preparing to adapt it into a movie, UU reading the book www.uukanshu.com Frank Miller has now agreed to transfer the copyright to us."

Compared with other film companies, David Ellison is now more of a pure investor, and he has just left school and has not opened up in Hollywood at all.

"I've seen this illustration." David Ellison was not as impulsive as rumored, "You guys have to adapt it, not a sequel movie..."

He hesitated, "The style of this illustration is too different."

In any case, he has studied at the USC Film School, and he still has some basic common sense.

Matthew reminded, "David, have you seen the recently released "Sin City"? It was also adapted from Frank Miller's illustrations, and it is currently praised by the media and has a good box office."

David Ellison frowned and thought, and after a while, he asked, "I just want to ask, is this movie starring you?"

He doesn't know that Zack Snyder or something, but the person in front of him is recognized as one of the most promising young actors in the Hollywood industry, especially in terms of commercial box office appeal, which is simply not comparable to other young actors.

"Yes!" Matthew also understood that he had gradually formed a brand effect, "I will play the leading actor Leonidas."

David Ellison did not respond immediately, but instead asked more detailed questions, and Matthew responded accordingly.

If you want to attract people to invest, you must have at least patience.

Afterwards, Helen Herman also rushed to the Regent Hotel. After meeting Matthew and David Ellison, he said goodbye to Jennifer Aniston in advance, and left the banquet hall. stand up.

Although David Ellison did not give an exact answer to the investment in the end, the intention was already obvious. 8)
