On Saturday morning, I went for a run in the garden and woods. After I came back, I washed and changed my clothes. Matthew walked into the restaurant and just sat down to eat breakfast when there were dense footsteps outside, and before the housekeeper came in to report , David Ellison, with hair like a bird's nest, hurried into the restaurant.

"Matthew! Matthew!" he shouted as he walked, his voice was obviously a little excited, as if he had encountered something exciting and couldn't tell anyone or vent, "I have good news for you! Good news!"

David Ellison entered the restaurant and saw Matthew eating his breakfast unhurriedly. He immediately walked across from him, put his hands on the table, and said eagerly, "Can you still eat breakfast?"

Matthew put down his knife and fork, looked up at David Ellison, the super rich second-generation hair was horribly messy, the corners of his mouth were shaking slightly, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was red, and the sweater under his casual suit seemed to be Something is wrong...

"David..." Matthew pointed and said, "Your sweater is upside down."

"What?" David Ellison glanced down, but didn't care, "Don't worry about that..."

Seeing that this guy was overexcited, and it looked like he was struggling with his hands on the dining table, Matthew pointed to the chair opposite the dining table and said, "Let's sit down and talk, David?"

"Good! Good!" David Ellison nodded hastily, pulled out the chair, and sat opposite Matthew.

Matthew looked at him and roughly guessed why David Ellison ran over early in the morning, but instead of asking, he said, "Have you had breakfast? Would you like to try my Chinese breakfast?"

"Wait!" David Ellison raised his hand to stop Matthew, "Don't talk about it, okay? Can you listen to me?"

Regardless of whether Matthew agrees or not, he said to himself, "I've stayed up since the early hours of last night, and I just wanted to find someone to talk to. I originally wanted to call you in the middle of the night..."

"You can call your sister," Matthew chimed in.

David Ellison spread his hands helplessly. "She's turned off!" He continued, "Matthew, shut up! Listen to me."

Matthew nodded lightly, "Go ahead."

"Have you not seen the box office statistics yet?" David Ellison asked, seeing Matthew's calm look.

Matthew shook his head, "I've seen it."

David Ellison's eyes widened with excitement and asked, "Don't you feel it?"

"How do you feel?" Matthew picked up the soy milk, took a sip, and pointed to David Ellison, "Like you?"

"$38.5 million!"

Saying this number, David Ellison shot the table several times in succession, "Our movie sold 38.5 million US dollars on the first day!"

Matthew put down the cup of soy milk, "I know."

"Do you know what this means?" David Ellison raised his voice abruptly, pointed out a slightly trembling finger, pointed at Matthew, and said, "This breaks the single-sale record of a North American R-rated film in history. Daily box office record!"

Matthew was still calm, "I know."

David Ellison's voice was raised again, "Do you know that this means that our movie's first weekend in North America may exceed 100 million?"

Matthew said calmly, "I know."

"You...you..." David Ellison didn't know what to say for a while when he saw Matthew's bland appearance.

"Calm down, David." Matthew gestured down.

In the excitement, he asked and said this in a row, and after talking so much, David Ellison calmed down a little and asked, "Aren't you nervous?"

Matthew shrugged slightly, "At the beginning, I was like you, and I have experienced this kind of thing a lot, so I faced it calmly."

This reminded David Ellison, who sighed and said, "How could I forget, you've been successful so many times, and I'm... the first time."

Matthew glanced at David Ellison again, and the almost morbid excitement on his face just now dissipated quite a bit, and asked, "A little less stress?"

"It's easy, it's really easy." David Ellison breathed a sigh of relief, "You don't know how much pressure I have been under in the past two years."

Matthew really doesn't know, but he can think of something. The Ellison family's money is not blown by the wind. Before David Ellison came to Hollywood to invest, no one had heard of him having any successful investment cases. With so much money thrown into film projects, David Ellison wouldn't be human if he wasn't under pressure.

If he remembers correctly, David Ellison is several years younger than him.

David Ellison sat back in his chair and said, "How many people from the entertainment industry to the media industry to the business world are waiting to see my jokes? They were expecting me to fail, and they pointed at me and said, Look, that's Larry Ellison's unreal son."

Matthew didn't speak, and it was the best choice to be a listener. In fact, in some respects, David Ellison's situation was somewhat similar to Sofia Coppola.

"I'm Larry Ellison's son!" David Ellison continued. "I deserve to succeed; if I fail, it's all Ellison's face."

He raised his hand and wiped it over his head with force, "And my father, he didn't say it, but he didn't think I came to Hollywood, and he was waiting for my head to bleed before going back."

"Thank you, Matthew." David Ellison looked up at Matthew and said very sincerely, "Thank you for bringing me into this project."

Having said this, he suddenly laughed, "I let everyone down, and let down those who were waiting to see my jokes!"

The pressure was vented out with laughter.

Matthew didn't care about him, David Ellison was like a carefree super rich second generation, facing much more pressure and critical eyes than the average person.

To paraphrase what he said about Sofia Coppola, who made him an Ellison.

The laughter stopped, David Ellison calmed down and looked at Matthew, "I'm hungry, I haven't eaten anything since last night."

Matthew called the housekeeper in and told her to inform the kitchen to prepare breakfast for David Ellison.

David Ellison gradually returned to normal, looked down at the reversed sweater, and said, "Am I so out of shape?"

Matthew nodded earnestly, and then said, "Don't forget who you are sitting across from."

"You..." David Ellison pointed to Matthew, couldn't help laughing, and said, "You guy."

He shook his head, "I can't compare to you at this point."

"It's like I don't have more money than you." Matthew also laughed, "David, don't be more handsome than me, you will hurt your self-esteem."

David Ellison said deliberately, "You are overconfident."

Breakfast was delivered at this time, and Matthew changed the subject and said, "Try it and see if it suits your taste."

Maybe he was really hungry, and David Ellison didn't answer, and buried his head to eat.

After a while, he said again, "I suddenly remembered one thing, I didn't invest in "I Am Legend", it was too stupid!"

Matthew didn't answer, but remembered what he had planned at the premiere of "The Banner of Our Fathers".

"David..." he said slowly, "Do you want to continue working with me?"

Wiping his mouth with a napkin, David Ellison quickly considered Matthew's words and said, "Which guy who wants to invest in movies doesn't want to work with you right now?"

Matthew took advantage of this time to simply sort out his thoughts and said, "I have a plan that may require a lot of money and the support of a powerful friend like you."

David Ellison is not as impulsive as he just said, "Tell me about it."

"Do you know the "Fast and Furious" series of Universal Pictures?" Matthew saw David Ellison nodded and said, "A few years ago, I once got a small role in the first film, Later, because he beat the hero Vin Diesel..."

David Ellison chimed in, "You beat that bald head?"

Matthew shrugged and continued, "So, I was fired by the crew. This film was made three times, and the last one, "Tokyo Drift", had extremely poor box office and reputation, and Universal Pictures cut the series~www .readwn.com ~ David Ellison sees what Matthew means, "Are you interested in this series? "

"I think there's a market for movies that mix action, drag racing and friendship," Matthew said.

David Ellison would only sneer if he said this from someone else's mouth. Is there any plane stimulation for racing?

But it was Matthew who said this, a person who has been successful in succession and has a very good eye for film selection from inside and outside the circle.

Matthew has only said that until now, because "Three Hundred Spartans" must have been a great success. As the only investor, David Ellison could not be unaffected.

David Ellison thought about it for a while, then asked, "Matthew, will you play?"

"I want to be the producer of this series." Matthew knew the crux of the problem. "If necessary, I can directly participate in this series."

"What do you want to do?" David Ellison has already figured it out, but this involves a large investment and cannot be done arbitrarily. "Is there any specific plan."

"There is no specific plan, just a general idea. I don't know much about business." Matthew seemed very sincere, "David, I need the support of a professional business person like you."

He didn't go around in circles and said, "My idea is that we will contact Universal Pictures later and try to see if we can buy the copyright of this series from Universal Pictures in a joint venture, and then turn it into our series. "

David Ellison suddenly said, "Matthew, you are not suitable to come forward. As soon as you come forward, Universal Pictures will definitely realize that this series has something to do in the future, and will never sell it to us again."

He sighed, "You... your influence is too great now."

Matthew smiled and said, "That's why I asked you to cooperate."
