Seeing that the overall situation was settled, Matthew didn't even think about it. He followed David Heyman and walked towards the audition room, but just as he walked to the door, Francis Lawrence's voice came from behind him. Flash Dance Novel Network

"Matthew Horner!"

Hearing this voice, Matthew glanced back, Francis Lawrence was there, his eyes fixed on him, and he asked, "What did you do?"

Francis Lawrence frowned. Yesterday, Akiva Goldsman's attitude was very clear. Today's sudden change, if there is no Matthew Horner factor behind it, he will not believe anything.

Matthew shrugged slightly and babbled calmly, "It's simple, I told Akiva Goldsman that if he didn't use Alexandra Daddario, I'd quit the set."

"You..." Francis Lawrence was speechless for a moment.

"Don't feel unfair." Matthew said lightly, "The reality is that I am more important to the crew than you!"

These words obviously stinged Francis Lawrence, his voice was low, "Not necessarily!"

Matthew spread his hands and said, "Isn't it? Yesterday after you left, I went to Akiva Goldsman and told him either enable Alexandra Daddario or I quit the program. , he made his choice immediately."

Francis Lawrence took a step forward, his tone becoming aggressive, "You're just an actor!"

"Yeah." Matthew could also hear from his tone that Francis Lawrence, like most Hollywood directors, has a huge psychological advantage over actors. He doesn't find it strange, after all, directors are in a relatively upstream position in the industry. , he added, "A director is far more important to a film project than an actor, but it's not for you and me."

After speaking, he stopped paying attention to Francis Lawrence, turned around, and left the audition room directly.

He shook his head and strode towards the exit of the corridor. Perhaps Francis Lawrence was stimulated by him, and it would be more difficult to accept the current result, so he might find Akiva Goldsman.

Francis Lawrence didn't believe the reasons given by David Heyman and Akiva Goldsman at all, and wanted to go to Akiva Goldsman to discuss it with Matthew Horner. He couldn't bear it any longer, he immediately left the audition room, strode to the door of an office, knocked on it, and pushed open the office door without waiting for a response from inside.

Akiva Goldsman, alone in the office, saw Francis Lawrence and asked, "What's up?"

Although Francis Lawrence was a little impulsive, but his head did not faint, he quickly closed the office door and said, "Aqiva, I stand by my point of view, Alexandra Daddario is not suitable for the role of Anne!"

Akiva Goldsman shook his head, "I've made a decision."

Francis Lawrence frowned and added, "Alexandra Daddario doesn't meet my shooting requirements at all, her acting skills don't meet my shooting standards at all."

"Then change your standards." Akiva Goldsman said directly, "I will change the script and character settings appropriately, and Alexandra Daddario will have no problem playing this role."

"Sorry," Francis Lawrence insisted. "I can't shoot this way."

Akiva Goldsman looked over and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

With such a result now, Francis Lawrence cannot explain to Paula Patton, and his brows are even tighter.

Akiva Goldsman waved his hand and said, "This matter is so decided, needless to say."

Francis Lawrence didn't mean to leave, he was silent for a few seconds, and then said, "If Alexandra Daddario plays Annie, I can't shoot normally, she doesn't meet my requirements at all, I can't directing this project."

He joined the group in March and has been involved in the preparation of the film for nearly two months. He considers himself to be one of the core members of the project.

As soon as these words came out, Akiva Goldsman couldn't help but be stunned. Of course he understood what Francis Lawrence meant.

He thought for a moment, then asked, "If I stick with Alexandra Daddario, are you going to quit the set?"

Having said this, Francis Lawrence stopped going around in circles and said directly, "When I signed the contract, the agreement drawn up by the crew included an exit mechanism."

Akiva Goldsman naturally remembers that he was not particularly concerned about Francis Lawrence, a young director, and deliberately added a clause to the contract. If the two sides disagree on creative ideas, the crew only needs to pay him $500,000. Francis Lawrence can be fired, and Francis Lawrence can also resign from the crew, but there is no remuneration for voluntary resignation, and all his work related to the project is owned by the crew.

The reason for adding this clause is because of the less successful box office of "Hell Detective". If Francis Lawrence fails to meet the requirements, he can fire Francis Lawrence at any time.

"Francis!" Akiva Goldsman said, looking at him, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Francis Lawrence has no intention of backing down, "I stand by my philosophy!"

Akiva Goldsman would have compromised if Francis Lawrence was indispensable to the crew, but he had no intention of letting go.

Akiva Goldsman is not a famous gold-medal producer like Jerry Bruckheimer, but looking at the whole of Hollywood, he is also the best among the first-line producers, and he has won an Oscar in screenwriting. , the self-esteem is quite high.

Just as he has always insisted that Matthew is the first actor of the project "I Am Legend", rather than a mandatory choice, in Akiva Goldsman's heart, the core of this project is only him, the screenwriter and producer. , and nothing else.

"Francis." Akiva Goldsman's voice softened a lot, and he said to Francis Lawrence again, "This kind of decision should be made carefully."

"This is not in line with my philosophy." Francis Lawrence thought of Paula Patton and "Hell's Detective", which had no heavyweight black role and was mediocre at the box office, and said without hesitation, "I voluntarily quit the crew and no longer serve as "I" It's the director of Legend."

His meaning is very clear. As a persistent director, he took the initiative to fire the crew, instead of the crew taking the initiative to fire him. There is an essential difference between the two.

Akiva Goldsman frowned. Although this was not the result he wanted, he didn't want to make any further comments. There are too many projects in Hollywood to change directors in the middle. There are many examples of changing directors during filming.

In his mind, this project can be without Matthew Horner, without director Francis Lawrence, or even without Warner Bros., the producer and distributor, he can also find other companies.

Only he himself is truly indispensable.

Looking at Francis Lawrence, Akiva Goldsman couldn't help but think of Matthew Horner. This director is obviously more persistent and principled than the actor Matthew Horner.

Of course, Matthew Horner understands the value of compromise better and is smarter.

Akiva Goldsman nodded lightly and said, "Okay then, I will notify the legal department of the crew and ask them to negotiate with your agency about the termination of the contract."

Francis Lawrence said no more, turned and walked out of Akiva Goldsman's office.

Akiva Goldsman didn't look at Francis Lawrence again, his head turned quickly, and the names of directors began to emerge in his mind, and then he considered which one would be suitable to take over the director position of Francis Lawrence.

For him, and for the I Am Legend project, from this moment on, Francis Lawrence is a thing of the past.

The crew will not be stagnant because of the departure of a director. In fact, all the preparatory work is under his control. Even if Matthew Horner and Francis Lawrence leave the crew together, the project can still go ahead.

The door of the office was pushed open from the outside again, David Heyman walked in, Akiva Goldsman glanced at him and said, "You came just in time, I was looking for you, Francis Lawrence wants Withdraw from the crew, let's discuss the candidate for a new director..."

At the entrance of Warner Studios, Francis Lawrence got a call from Paula Patton as soon as he got into a commercial car.

"Hi dear." Paula Patton said with a laugh, "Is the crew officially confirmed?"

Francis Lawrence looked gloomy, but still relatively calm, and said, "It's certain..."

"Great!" Paula Barton interrupted him directly on the phone and said, "When will the crew start negotiations? The agency is ready."

"Sorry, dear." Francis Lawrence said as simply as possible, "It wasn't you who passed the audition, it was Alexandra Daddario."

Paula Patton on the other end of the phone almost shouted, "What? Alexandra Daddario passed the audition? How could this be, didn't you say..."

Frances Lawrence interrupted her, saying, "Things took an unexpected turn, Matthew Horner didn't know what to do, and Akiva Goldsman changed his mind."

"Didn't you fight for me?" Paula Patton said with a bit of doubt.

"I have." Francis Lawrence distinguished, "In order to help you win, I quit the director of this project..."

The other side of the phone was silent for a moment, and he said again, "Let's talk in detail when we meet."

The news of Francis Lawrence's departure from the crew reached Matthew the next day.
