​​

After receiving the notice from Akiva Goldsman, Helen Herman temporarily put aside other work at hand and devoted himself to the negotiation with the "I Am Legend" crew, although the biggest difference and contradiction between the two parties is the salary. However, it is not uncommon for a big star's performance contract to have hundreds of pages of content, and it is not uncommon for hundreds of clauses to appear.

​​

Helen-Hellman is no longer involved in the negotiation alone. Five other agents are mobilized from the company to participate in this negotiation. She is in charge of the overall situation, and then each agent is responsible for filming, living, accommodation, travel, Negotiate with the crew on some aspect of publicity and security.

​​

This is a commercial contract involving 20 million US dollars, and the complexity of the negotiation and contract can also be imagined from the amount.

​​

According to Helen Herman, even if the negotiation process goes well, it will take at least ten days to complete.

​​

"I heard you kicked Will Smith out?"

​​

In the training ground converted from the studio, James McAvoy leaned over to Matthew and asked, "Did he do anything to you?"

​​

"I didn't kick him out." Matthew put away the prop dagger and said that it was the first choice of the "I Am Legend" crew. He wanted to take my role, but it didn't work. "

​​

He walked toward the edge of the field, waited for James McAvoy to follow, and added, "From what I've heard, Will Smith won't do anything, this kind of role competition is just a normal competition, I'm just working with him. Competition, no personal conflict, I heard that Will Smith is a smart guy and shouldn't be stupid enough to fight me."

​​

James McAvoy also came to his senses and nodded, "I still think of you as me and Michael." He shook his head, "Big stars and ordinary actors are completely two different beings, and they won't go to war easily."

​​

Matthew turned to him with a smile and said, "You and Michael will be popular soon too."

​​

James McAvoy shrugged, "Hopefully."

​​

After saying this, he reminded Matthew again, "You still have to pay attention to Will Smith. Even if he doesn't target you, he probably won't be soft when he can hack you."

​​

Matthew nodded, he didn't know Will Smith, if it was himself, if he failed to compete with others for a leading actor, and had the opportunity to fall into trouble, he would definitely not let it go.

​​

According to Helen Herman from inside CAA, Will Smith and Kevin Howian, although a little unhappy about the failure to compete for the role, have no intention of targeting him.

​​

"Will has had more than a dozen roles that have failed to compete since he entered Hollywood."

​​

In a cafe across the street from Century City Mall, Jada Smith looked at the black man across from him and said, "If Will has to fight the winner every time he loses a role, there's no time to do his normal work. ."

​​

Sitting across from Jada Smith was Naomie Harris, who said, "I just thought it would be a shame to lose the lead actor for a big project with a $150 million production budget."

​​

Jada Smith felt the same way, but Will Smith told her a lot, which made her understand a little bit, "Will is a first-line movie star, of course he will be happy to get this role, but he won't get it. If so, there are other opportunities, and it is not necessary for this role."

​​

Naomie Harris looks at the problems facing Will Smith from her own position, but of course she can't really see it.

​​

In the past year, under the favorable conditions of Hollywood black group, she gradually got closer to Jada Smith, and Jada Smith is also a kind of black supremacist. The two have a lot in common in this regard.

​​

Will Smith's failure to audition for the leading role in "I Am Legend" reminded Naomie Harris of an extremely embarrassing encounter. She had a good relationship with Jada Smith and asked her out to see if she could give That **** makes some trouble, even if it doesn't work, it's just a waste of saliva.

​​

Unexpectedly, Jada Smith and Will Smith did not seem to be particularly annoyed by the failure of the audition.

​​

Hearing Jada Smith's words, Naomie Harris turned her head several times before she finally realized that for an actor of her level, every chance to play the leading role can be said to be a gift from God. Even a supporting role like the witch in the two sequels of "Pirates of the Caribbean" has to fight for his head, but Will Smith is completely different. He is one of the most popular among the first-line stars, and it is estimated that he receives a film contract every year. , at least a dozen copies.

​​

"I thought Will would get the role." Naomie Harris looked indignant, "I didn't expect the crew to choose the starlet Matthew Horner, who was much less qualified than Will. "

​​

Jada Smith took a sip from the coffee cup, remembered what Will Smith said, and repeated it as it is, "Originally, the first choice of the "I Am Legend" crew was Matthew Horner, but later with Matthew Horner When the negotiation did not go well, he sent Will an audition invitation. At that time, Will knew that this invitation was with the intention of putting pressure on Matthew Horner, but Will was a fan of Richard Matherson. I was very interested in the male protagonist in the original book, so I wanted to try to grab the role."

​​

She put down the coffee cup and sighed, "I still didn't get it in the end."

​​

Naomie Harris still didn't give up, "Jada, you said last time that Will and CAA have done a lot of work for this role, and they just lost it. Didn't all that work become useless?"

​​

"If it doesn't work, then just don't fight." Jada Smith is not only Mrs. Smith, but also an actor who has been in Hollywood for many years, "Even if there is only one percent of hope, you must fight with all your strength, so as to win Role."

​​

She shook her head and said, "Naomi, don't you think that A-list stars can get their favorite roles if they don't do anything?"

​​

Naomie Harris shook her head quickly, "No, how can I be so naive?" She continued, "I'm just curious if the producers and directors of the "I Am Legend" crew have a brain problem and would rather use horses Small stars like Hugh Horner don't need big stars like Will."

​​

"Matthew Horner is a starlet?" Jada Smith stood in her husband's position. Although she didn't like Matthew Horner, she would not deny the most basic facts. She laughed and said, "Na Omi, if Matthew Horner is a minor star, how many other Hollywood stars are there?"

​​

No need for Naomi Harris to answer, Jada Smith said, "It is said that Matthew Horner and the "I Am Legend" crew reached a salary of 20 million US dollars! Naomi, members of the 20 million club can be regarded as Little star?"

​​

"What?" Naomie Harris didn't pretend this time, with a shocked look on her face, "Matthew Horner's salary has reached 20 million US dollars?"

​​

Jada Smith nodded, "Matthew Horner is a big star who can get a salary of $20 million!"

​​

Naomie Harris was dizzy for a while, what is the concept of $20 million? She may never earn so much money in her life! It would be great if she could earn $20 million for a film, so she could just go to the modeling circle and hook up with male models.

​​

"He..." Naomie Harris muttered, "it's just luck."

​​

Jada Smith couldn't help shaking his head. He could see that Naomie Harris probably didn't like Matthew Horner very much.

​​

Of course, she doesn't like Matthew Horner either, but some facts exist objectively and cannot be denied by her alone.

​​

She had discussed privately with Will Smith about Matthew Horner before, and this guy's experience is something that young people who want to be a star can only dream of, Will Smith told her, Matthew Horner He came to Hollywood in 1999. It seems that he has nothing to do with any big names in the circle. In just six or seven years, he has gone from the lowest extras to the ranks of the $20 million club. Even if you look at the whole of Hollywood, it can be said to be extremely rare.

​​

This can never be explained by luck alone. Good luck can make an actor succeed once or twice, but it cannot be successful so many times in a row.

​​

Thinking of this, Jada Smith sighed. Everyone thinks that Will Smith's experience is legendary, but in contrast, the process of Matthew Horner's way up is the real legend.

​​

Jada Smith has no doubt that even if Matthew Horner is not popular in the next few years, after a dozen or two decades, this experience will be adapted into a biographical film by Hollywood.

​​

She chatted with Naomie Harris for a while~www.readwn.com~ took the initiative to pay and left the cafe.

​​

Out of the cafe door, Jada Smith happened to see the huge "Pirates of the Caribbean: Death Man" poster hanging above the main entrance of the shopping center, with Matthew Horner and Johnny Depp prominently displayed.

​​

Jada Smith sighed in a low voice, "He's really too popular."

​​

In fact, she said something similar to Naomie Harris to her husband Will Smith, and her response to Naomie Harris was what Will Smith said to her at the time.

​​

Will-Smith doesn't want to have sharp contradictions with other stars of similar rank because of a problem with one role.

​​

Of course this is only one aspect.

​​

Will Smith also told her that on the other hand, after Matthew Horner reached an agreement with the "I Am Legend" crew, the most upset person was director Francis Lawrence, because Matthew Horner would be named as a co-producer. People, power can trump the director, and reached out to the supporting actress Francis Lawrence wanted.
