Just after work time on Monday, Spike-Lee walked into his studio in North Hollywood. The studio is small and only two offices together, like most Hollywood stars and directors. , This is an empty shell company, mainly used to avoid tax and do some inconvenient personal identity affairs.

"Good morning, Director Li."

A blond woman greeted Spike-Lee respectfully.

Spike-Lee nodded lightly to her, walked to the door of his office, suddenly remembered something, and said, "Alice, Jackson will come later, he came and brought him directly to my office."

The blonde woman knew that Jackson was the boss's agent, and immediately said, "Yes, Director Li."

Spike-Lee thought for a while, then said, "Find me some points of today's paper."

"It's ready." It wasn't the first day the blonde woman was assistant to Spike-Lee. "Put it on the desk."

"Go get busy." Spike-Lee waved at her.

This studio is an empty shell with few employees, and the blonde woman is not only an assistant, but also a telephone operator.

Spike-Lee walked into the office and sat behind the large desk, with a steaming cup of coffee and a newspaper that had flipped to the entertainment section on the desk.

He took a swig of coffee from the cup first, and then turned his attention to the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times.

The front page of the entertainment page is a striking picture of a man with a red cape and red trousers, rushing forward with a sword in hand.

Spike-Lee frowned slightly, but didn't say much, although this person is Leonidas played by Matthew Horner, but after he was released from the North American box office of "Three Hundred Spartans" on the first day, I anticipated the current situation.

With a box office of nearly 40 million dollars on the first day, and no strong competitors, it is strange that it cannot win the box office championship.

He continued to look down, and next to the picture was the news headline-"Three Hundred Spartans" was invincible, breaking records in its first week of release!

"Breaking records?" Spike Lee pinched his nose, "Is it really over 100 million at the box office in the first week?"

In the past three days, he has been running around, contacting people, and attracting many like-minded people. The film "Three Hundred Spartans" is directly related to the next series of plans.

Although the male lead made him annoyed, he endured watching it.

"The epic "Three Hundred Spartans," released last weekend, dominated the North American box office charts, and this film about the famous Battle of Thermal Pass in Greek history easily dwarfs the rest of the film in theaters. The mighty Spartan warriors fearlessly resisted the invading Persian army."

"On the first day of its release, "Three Hundred Spartans" surpassed the $37.2 million of "The Matrix 2: Reloaded" with a box office of $38.5 million, setting a new R-rated single-day box office record! This is also The North American film market has the second-best November opening day after Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, which earned $40.11 million on its first day!"

"However, 'Spartan 300' was more stable than 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire', taking in an additional $34.6 million on Saturday and $29.95 million on Sunday, with a $103.05 million weekend box office. , surpassed the $102.68 million of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", setting a new November weekend box office record in the North American film market, and also becoming the first film ever to break the $100 million mark in its opening weekend. R-rated movie!"

"Faced with the strong performance of "Spartan 300", the previous week's box office champion, "The Banner of the Fathers," directed by Clint Eastwood, retreated to third place and closed at 621 in the second weekend. $26.45 million; this week's runner-up was taken by 20th Century Fox's "Borat" with $26.45 million."

"Not surprisingly, with the release of films starring Matthew Horner, the North American film market can always see a hot movie viewing boom. This week, the North American market soared by 75% compared with last week, reaching 154.06 million. Dollar……"

Seeing this, Spike-Lee took the newspaper, "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" was more successful than he expected!

The first-ever R-rated film with over 100 million box office opening weekend in North America!

When someone thinks of this record in the future, they will naturally think that the star of this film is Matthew Horner!

This **** is going to make a name for himself in film history...

Spike-Lee couldn't help shaking his head, thinking about it, this is the first consecutive movie starring Matthew Horner to sell at the box office? There were so many that he couldn't even remember.

Originally, he also felt that the scenes of "Three Hundred Spartans" being too violent, cruel and **** would become a hindrance to the box office. As a result, all these were not problems.

Then, in another newspaper, he saw what Matthew Horner said in an interview, answering questions about the film's violence.

"The violence in this film doesn't bother anyone because it's not done in an outrageous way. In my opinion, the greatest success of a film is to gain the audience's word of mouth, and only when the audience recognizes and actively promotes a film can you achieve success in the true sense."

Spike-Lee rolled his eyes upwards, which made a lot of sense, and even someone like him who hated Matthew Horner wouldn't deny it.

Thinking about himself, he has been in the independent film circle for more than ten years. In the past, the Coppola family was used as a support, and he did not get into the first-line position. If he hadn't been a black director, he wouldn't be as famous as he is now in the rapidly changing circumstances of twenty-first-century Hollywood.

It wasn't until the filming of "The Insider" last year that he really understood a similar truth, and then there was the success of "The Insider".

The film can be niche, but it can't be obscure and pretend to be deep, and it is literary for the sake of literature and art.

Strictly speaking, "Three Hundred Spartans" is also relatively niche, but relying on Matthew Horner's meat sales and director's dazzling skills, it has created a public effect.

Spike-Lee closed all the newspapers, picked up the cup, and drank all the remaining coffee in one breath. There was a thought in his head, whether "Three Hundred Spartans" would set the North American box office record of an R-rated film ? "The Passion of the Christ", which is currently the highest-grossing R-rated film, was an extremely topical work.

The next second, Spike-Lee laughed. "Three Hundred Spartans" can't have such a chance, because his plan is about to be implemented. If everything goes well, this film must be a high and low. ending.

The office door was knocked from outside, and the blond assistant pushed open the door and said, "Director Li, Mr. James Jackson is calling, he has gone downstairs."

Spike-Lee nodded lightly, "Let him come over."

In less than five minutes, a middle-aged white man wearing glasses walked into Spike-Lee's office, and the two simply greeted and entered the topic.

"I just met with Naomie Harris, who was introduced by Jada Smith. James Jackson is also Jada Smith's agent." According to Naomie Harris, Matthew Horner She took her roles in two Pirates of the Caribbean sequels outright, replaced her with white actress Eva Green, and then she clashed with Matthew Horner."

Spike-Lee thought about it and asked, "Will she come forward?"

James Jackson replied, "Naomie Harris agreed to come forward and accuse Matthew Horner of unfairly taking her role."

Speaking of which, he asked with concern, "Where are Francis Lawrence and Paula Patton?"

"Don't worry." Spike-Lee smiled, "The two of them are fine."

"Our big plan can be launched." James Jackson seemed quite confident, "With the current situation in the circle, it will definitely cause a sensational effect. If all goes well, "The Insider" will become a big hit in the awards season. Spike, You also have a good chance of winning an Oscar for best director."

He looked at Spike Lee with admiration. "With this plan, we don't need the Coppola family at all this awards season."

Spike-Lee was not blindly optimistic and asked, "What did the producer Universal Pictures say?"

James Jackson expressed dissatisfaction, "Universal Pictures is too conservative, they will not directly participate." He continued, "Don't worry, they will not participate, but the Universal executives I contacted acquiesced to our plan."

"That's fine." Spike-Lee nodded lightly.

"As long as our side goes well." James Jackson said again at this time, "when Matthew Horner's side comes, everyone is calling for a fight~www.readwn.com~ Universal Pictures sees that it is profitable, they don't need us to propose, they also will be involved.”

Spike-Lee felt that what the agent said was very reasonable. In the current situation in Hollywood, black people should not be offended, and racial discrimination is an absolute red line. Once someone touches it, it will inevitably become a mouse running on the street.

Now that the awards season is only three weeks away, it is obviously impossible to recapture Sofia Coppola. If he and "The Insider" want to have enough gains in the awards season, they must find other paths.

Hollywood-style political correctness is undoubtedly the best weapon.

That day, he saw the trailer of "Three Hundred Spartans" and saw Matthew Horner killing black characters, so he had a similar idea. After watching the premiere, the idea gradually turned into a plan. People also agreed with his plan. After all, the current situation in Hollywood is here. What is the difference between not taking advantage of it and being an idiot?

He would be the first to accuse Matthew Horner and "Three Hundred Spartans" of being suspected of racism, and then a group of allies would follow up, and the media also contacted a lot. Matthew Horner pushed to the opposite of political correctness in Hollywood.

And he will stand on the side of justice.
