​​

Hearing Eva Green's active greeting, Matthew immediately stopped and responded with a smile, "Hello, Miss Green."

​​

Eva Green's drooping mouth suddenly burst into a smile, "Let's call me Eva."

​​

Matthew nodded slightly, just like he met at the premiere of "Kingdom of Heaven", Eva Green's long dyed black hair fell down her shoulders, and she wore black casual clothes, which made her skin extraordinarily fair.

​​

He had heard from Helen Herman before that Eva Green was actually a blonde.

​​

However, the dark brown and almost black long hair undoubtedly matches Eva Green's appearance and temperament more.

​​

Eva Green's eyes were too large, the corners of her eyes drooped, the corners of her mouth drooped slightly, and the nasolabial lines were too deep. She was different from those blond women. If she had blonde hair, it would be somewhat nondescript.

​​

Just like the feeling of the previous meeting, Matthew always believed that the black-haired Eva Green had a unique appearance, and there was no similarity in beauty. There was a kind of evil, dark, cold and mysterious beauty, just like the classical beauty on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. The female fairy depicted in the famous book is ordinary.

​​

"Is the filming in Dominica all over?" Eva Green quickly found a common topic, "I heard that you had a lot of trouble over there."

​​

Matthew smiled, "It's okay, the shooting went well."

​​

Eva Green stood still in front of Matthew, and continued, "I'll be joining the group to shoot in a few days."

​​

"It seems that we still have a few scenes to shoot together." Matthew looked at Eva Green and said.

​​

Eva Green took a step forward, "Matthew, I haven't thanked you yet for getting this role."

​​

She knows that the failure of "Kingdom of Heaven" almost destroyed her stardom in Hollywood. If there is no one to support her, the future will be very difficult.

​​

"You're welcome, I just casually said hello to Gore Verbinski and the crew." Matthew's words were deliberately relaxed, as if he had done nothing.

​​

When Eva Green heard this, she paid more attention in her heart. A casual greeting can solve the audition for a supporting actress. If you say hello seriously, can it also influence the choice of the heroine?

​​

She doesn't doubt this. The person opposite is now a first-line star in the circle, and even she is a French person who knows her business influence.

​​

"Thank you." Eva Green just expressed her gratitude verbally, "Really, I am very grateful to you."

​​

Matthew said again, "Eva, you're really welcome."

​​

Eva Green smiled at Matthew again and looked at the stairs behind him, "Is Helen in the office?"

​​

Matthew nodded, "Are you looking for her?"

​​

"Yeah." Eva Green said in her own mind, "I'm here today to find her something."

​​

"Then I won't delay you." Matthew was about to leave, "Let's talk when we have time."

​​

Eva Green waved gently to Matthew, "We'll talk again when we have time."

​​

She bypassed Matthew and went directly to the second floor. When she turned from the stairs, she glanced at the front hall and saw that Matthew had already left, standing on the stairs without moving for a while.

​​

For the next two days, Matthew hid in the Horner Manor and did not go out. After shooting in Dominica for such a long time, he also felt tired, so he just took advantage of these few days to relax and have a good time.

​​

But he has just stepped into the front line, and it is when he is busy with work. Even if he does not need to shoot, there are still many things to deal with.

​​

Bella Anderson made a special trip to Horner Manor. At present, Matthew's contact with supporter organizations in major cities across the United States has been coordinated by her and the Angel Agency. Even if these fan organizations have a top-to-bottom relationship structure, it is impossible to become a strict organization.

​​

Matthew and Helen Herman are very clear about this. What they ask for is actually not complicated, that is, when needed, such as when Matthew holds a large-scale event in a certain city or a new movie is released, fans can actively To respond, go directly to the site with theater support.

​​

Helen-Hellman specially analyzed for Matthew, the future mainstream Hollywood commercial film screening model will become more and more extreme, the most typical will be reflected in the first weekend box office, the first weekend box office may occupy a film in the future A third or even half of the North American box office, or more.

​​

In this way, the box office of the film needs to explode in the first weekend, and the pre-sale and first-week support will become extremely critical.

​​

According to the analysis of the six major Hollywood companies, the better the first-week box office of the first-line production in the future, the higher the probability of success will be, and it can even overcome the influence of negative word of mouth to a certain extent.

​​

In addition, Angels is also planning to build a more fanatical supporter group based on some die-hard fans in Los Angeles.

​​

Such organizations can both provide support and serve as a weapon to discredit other competitors.

​​

Later, another manager company came to the door and wanted to represent related business.

​​

As we all know, quite a few Hollywood stars have independent agents and managers, and the functions of the two are also different.

​​

According to California law and the regulations of the trade union, brokers and managers can be said to have a clear division of rights - brokers can obtain jobs for artists, and their job is to reach as many jobs as possible for artists; Responsibilities are to design and plan the careers of artists, and to create career paths for artists. Their job is to provide career consultations to their clients, and to provide advice and suggestions on career options provided to them by agents.

​​

To put it simply, the agent provides the artist with employment opportunities, and the manager advises which opportunities the artist should accept.

​​

On paper alone, it can be seen that there is a clear conflict of interest between brokers and managers.

​​

In the past, Matthew has never hired a manager, and this role was actually shared by himself and Helen Herman.

​​

Of course, there are many stars who do not hire managers, and he is not the only one. For example, many stars under CAA do not have managers.

​​

The conflict between managers and brokers is obvious. In recent years, the former has even begun to replace the latter's functions, quietly seeking work for clients.

​​

Some big-name stars or directors even quit their managers after hiring them.

​​

As far as Matthew knows, Leonardo DiCaprio, who left CAA, did not use agents, but replaced them completely with managers, although this does not meet the requirements of the California Talent Act, but also Gradually become the norm within Hollywood.

​​

Matthew had a detailed discussion with the people who came to the door. He neither agreed to cooperate with them nor refused. At present, he is very happy to work with Helen Herman. He has no plans to hire managers for the time being, and managers are the most important thing. Function, it will not be of much use to him for a long time in the future.

​​

The biggest role of a manager is to advise him on which opportunities to accept based on the actual situation.

​​

Matthew basically doesn't need anyone else's advice on this.

​​

However, having such a managerial company hanging around is also a kind of urging for Helen Herman.

​​

In addition, Matthew also needs a publicity and public relations team. In this regard, he directly greeted Helen Herman. Helen Herman's suggestion is to directly hire a well-established public relations team in the industry.

​​

Matthew doesn't have much opinion on this. A mature public relations team will be more experienced in dealing with emergencies.

​​

After entering the Hollywood circle in 1999, after seven years of hard work, Matthew gradually climbed to the position of Hollywood's first-line star. Any first-line star basically means huge fame and high income.

​​

Similarly, there will be many people relying on him as an A-list star to make a living and form a huge team.

​​

Since he has just entered the ranks of first-line stars, the team composition is relatively simple. There is no manager. The agent is Helen Herman, the Wilson lawyer who has been used by lawyers, and the financial services provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers and Bella Anderson. He's a personal assistant, an outsider on the PR team, and a stockbroker in New York who buys Apple stock for him.

​​

In addition, there are a lot of people out there who serve him.

​​

For example, the Red Penguin company where Liszt works provides housekeeping services and daily maintenance of the house. Horner Manor employs two chefs and three maids. There are three security guards at the gate of the manor on a 24-hour shift. Helen Herman also suggested that he hire A reliable bodyguard and more.

​​

These also require him to pay real money for compensation.

​​

Matthew and PricewaterhouseCoopers' accountants discussed this aspect. Even if Matthew's personal and daily expenses are not calculated, the commission from the surrounding team~www.readwn.com~ will use up his salary and endorsement income. Twenty percent.

​​

Like brokers, lawyers, accountants, and public relations, they don't want to pay the price directly, but a percentage of the relevant income.

​​

This is one of the reasons why Matthew no longer hires managers. The income of managers also exists in the form of a commission, and the proportion is not lower than that of brokers.

​​

Matthew once asked Johnny Depp and Keanu Reeves and found that his spending in this area is still relatively small. Keanu Reeves is okay, like Johnny Depp, who has a number of The star of the ten-person team can pay more than 30% of his personal income to the team members.

​​

A star needs to operate if he wants fame, works, and exposure, and operation is not free.

​​

Most celebrities earn a lot of money, spend a lot of money, and have no economic savvy. When they go from prosperity to decline, they will encounter personal financial crises, and maybe the beginning of bankruptcy.

​​

Matthew feels that he is fine, and he is relatively cautious in investing. Although he spends a lot of money, he will never waste it indiscriminately. The most important thing is that there are still a lot of Apple stocks that can be used for the bottom line.
