​​

If it was someone else, Matthew could still think about it. Britney's words should be forgotten. Both of them have a good memory, which is a hundred times stronger than hurting each other in the end, and he faintly felt that Helen -Herman is a little anxious.

​​

Most of the time, Helen Herman is a calm and calm woman. The last time a similar situation occurred, she was eager to enter the mainstream commercial production and tried her best to win him the leading role in "Van Helsing".

​​

At that time, he reminded Helen Herman, and then figured out a way to get Orlando Bloom to ask for the role.

​​

"I don't know why this time?"

​​

Returning to Horner Manor from the Angels Agency, Matthew remembered about Helen Herman, took out his mobile phone and sent her a text message, asked politely, and Helen Herman quickly replied with a text message.

​​

"fine."

​​

There was only one simple sentence on the text message.

​​

Helen Herman is not a little girl, but a very independent and assertive business woman. After seeing her reply, Matthew did not ask any more questions.

​​

Of course, no matter what happens to Helen Herman, it is impossible for him to reunite with Britney.

​​

After experiencing a bit of an ignorant first love, Matthew is no longer the little actor he used to be, and he has already released himself in his heart and in actual actions.

​​

Putting away the phone, Matthew thought of Orlando Bloom again. He hadn't heard from him for a long time, and he had seen news related to him.

​​

Having smashed two first-tier super productions in a row, it is almost impossible for Orlando Bloom to play the leading role in mainstream commercial masterpieces.

​​

Although he had some emotions in his heart, Matthew would not feel guilty. He didn't know how many people's shoulders he stepped on when he climbed up from the bottom.

​​

In the following week, Helen Herman was silent for a while, and seemed to completely give up the so-called reconciliation proposal of him and Britney. Ruth called and asked him to go to the Hollywood Celebrity Center for tea.

​​

The last time I went to the Hollywood Celebrity Center was to repay Tom Cruise's favor. Since the favor has been repaid, Matthew doesn't plan to go there again, let alone move closer to Scientology. Scientology won't harass him, which is exactly what he wants.

​​

The only thing that surprised him was that Amber Heard never appeared or contacted him again. It seemed that he was really just a friend introduced by Tom Cruise.

​​

The sugar-coated cannonball was very beautiful, but if he didn't take the initiative to call, he didn't have any intention of coming to the door.

​​

As time entered August, Matthew forgot about Scientology and sugar-coated cannonballs, because good news came one after another, and these news were more important in his eyes.

​​

After four weeks of screening, the North American box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Gathering Souls" has steadily passed the $400 million mark. On the second day after winning the North American weekend box office chart for the fourth time, the cumulative North American box office reached $412.2 million.

​​

Although the popularity of this film has dropped significantly, and the attendance rate and filming rate have dropped again and again, it is clear from inside and outside the circle that the North American box office is far from reaching the end.

​​

According to internal estimates of Disney Pictures, the final North American box office should be around 470 million US dollars, and it is very likely to break into the top three of the North American box office.

​​

In terms of overseas box office, more than 100 countries and regions have screened "Pirates of the Caribbean: Gathering Souls", and the overseas box office has also exceeded 500 million US dollars, becoming the number after "Titanic" and "The Lord of the Rings 3 "The Return of the King". , the third-highest-grossing Hollywood film overseas.

​​

The global box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Death Man" has reached the billion-dollar mark, and it will become the third global box office to exceed one billion after "Titanic" and "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King". Movie.

​​

Of course, with films like "Jurassic Park" and "Star Wars: A New Hope" said to be back in theaters again, presumably more and more Hollywood movies will break the billion dollar mark.

​​

Matthew and Johnny Depp have naturally become the hottest movie stars of the summer, not only in North America, but also in countries and regions around the world where "Pirates of the Caribbean: Death Man" is being screened.

​​

However, just as Will Turner has never been as popular as Captain Jack Sparrow, Matthew is a step behind Johnny Depp.

​​

This discrepancy was directly reflected in the negotiations between Helen Herman and two other agents with Disney Studios. When the three agents asked for a price increase on "The End of the World", Johnny Depp's agent shouted The numbers are the highest.

​​

"Pirates of the Caribbean: Gathering Souls" was a huge box office hit, which can definitely be said to be good news, but Matthew keenly felt that due to the film's reputation and quality, it was a bit different from "The Curse of the Black Pearl". I'm afraid it will consume too many fans' enthusiasm. When "The End of the World" is released, it may be difficult to be as popular as "The Gathering of Souls".

​​

Of course, as long as there are no problems in post-production, "The End of the World" will definitely sell well at the box office.

​​

With the foundation and experience of the first two successful films, if the production of the third film fails, Gore Verbinski and Jerry Bruckheimer can jump directly from the Disney headquarters building.

​​

Matthew did not have the authority to participate in the post-production of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, and he was not proficient in post-production.

​​

Not to mention the post-production of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, during which he went to Warner Studios to watch the post-production of "Three Hundred Spartans", but did not express any professional opinions.

​​

Compared to those busy post-production staff, he is definitely a layman.

​​

What if he had seen "Three Hundred Spartans"? He knew that the movie was widely circulated, that it was Zack Snyder's real fame, and he roughly remembered the plot of the movie.

​​

But these have no effect on the post-production of the film. The general plot script and comics are all there. The details required for post-production, such as editing, rendering, tuning, etc., are unknown to him.

​​

Who remembers these things when watching a movie?

​​

So, Matthew is very self-aware. If he can't help, don't make trouble.

​​

Fortunately, Zach Snyder and the producer Bearded Jack are professional enough. Under their control, the post-production of "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" is progressing smoothly. According to David Ellison, it will not exceed nine at the latest. In the middle of this month, the film will be edited and released in time for the beginning of the holiday season in early November.

​​

David Ellison and Skydance Films and Warner Bros. as the distributor have deliberately adjusted the release date to borrow Matthew's popularity after "Pirates of the Caribbean: Death Man".

​​

Although Warner Bros. and David Ellison himself have carefully crafted a promotional and marketing plan for the film, affected by the inevitable R-rating, the film "Three Hundred Spartans" is not in any way. There may be an announcement scale like "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Gathering Souls".

​​

Originally, Disney Pictures’ announcement budget for “Coffin of Souls” was lower than that of “The Curse of the Black Pearl”, but after the first week of box office of “Coffin of Souls” was released, the executives of Disney Studios saw a super big box office explosion. It is possible to invest a huge amount of money again, which is why the box office trend is strong, and the North American box office and the global box office have successfully surpassed 400 million US dollars and nearly 10 US dollars.

​​

As far as Matthew is aware, Disney Pictures has spent $150 million on the announcement of "Moulders".

​​

Hollywood has long since reached an era when there will be no super success without super announcements.

​​

Many people are talking about the terrible return on investment ratio when the production cost is several million dollars or even hundreds of thousands of dollars to win hundreds of millions of dollars, but no one cares about the high publicity and marketing expenses invested behind the production cost.

​​

Not to mention anything else, just an ordinary 35MM film copy, even if the film is shorter than 90 minutes and printed on a large scale, the price of each copy will hardly drop $600.

​​

The screening of copy theaters will not be prepared. What if a film is to be shown in 2,000 theaters? North American theaters have long entered the era of multi-room chains, and 2,000 theaters represent more than 2,000 theaters.

​​

In this era when digital copying has just emerged, many small film companies have produced a low-cost movie that they think can become a hit, and want to distribute it independently. The funds needed for copying alone will crush them to death.

​​

As for the issuing company, it is absolutely upstream in the food chain.

​​

Even with David Ellison's financial resources, it is impossible for Sky Dance Pictures to have complete distribution capabilities in a short period of time.

​​

Matthew didn't cause any trouble for Zach Snyder. After a trip to the post-production team of "Three Hundred Spartans"~www.readwn.com~ The "Legend" crew has become a place where he often runs.

​​

This is another good news he got. After various assessments, Akiva Goldsman and Warner Bros. confirmed the director candidate of "I Am Legend". Del Toro signed a contract with the crew to direct the sci-fi masterpiece.

​​

Matthew went to the crew mainly to communicate with the director. Guillermo del Toro is different from the previous Francis Lawrence. This is a typical commercial film director, and he is better at shooting some films with monsters and strange atmosphere.

​​

In terms of dealing with people, Guillermo del Toro is not as stubborn as Francis Lawrence, and is born with the enthusiasm and cheerfulness of Latin Americans.

​​

In terms of style, he is also more suitable for "I Am Legend". In the words of Akiva Goldsman, Guillermo del Toro is not only obsessed with Warcraft and Phantom, but also good at integrating horror, sci-fi, Magic and many other types of elements.

​​

Guillermo del Toro is a better director than Francis Lawrence when it comes to seniority and past directing style. )!!
