Best Movie Star

In the coffee shop, Akiva Goldsman slowly turned the cup in front of him, his face was quite dignified, and a pair of eyes floated across Brad Pitt's face. Since the other party had expressed his intentions, he didn't need to go around in circles, which could save money. time for both parties.

"Brad is interested in the hero of "Superman Hancock", I am very honored." Akiva Goldsman is not the kind of hot-tempered person, and his words are more tactful and polite, "But I can only Sorry, we already have a suitable candidate for the male lead."

Collina immediately answered, "Mr. Goldsman, don't rush to make a decision, okay?"

Akiva Goldsman shook his head gently, "Warner Bros. and I both decided to use Matthew Horner as the male lead. There is no better candidate than him, especially Warner Bros., they insisted on using Matthew Horner. ."

This is very polite, but it doesn't feel good in Brad Pitt's ears. Just a few years ago, Warner Bros. just begged him to work with him on "Troy"...

"Didn't you guys have negotiated yet?" Collina knew very well that there was no chance if you didn't try hard. "Don't you think Matthew Horner's $350,000 asking price is outrageous? Brad is also an A-list actor, he The offer is only $150,000, how much box office will it take to make up the 20 million dollar difference?”

Without waiting for Akiva Goldsman to reply, Brad Pitt said, "Akiva, you should know that I have a plan B production company. The company is currently reorganizing, and the reorganization will be completed in the second half of the year at most. In the future, you If there are other projects, plan b can participate in the investment.”

Of course, Akiva Goldsman knows about Plan B. Among the production companies established by movie stars, Drew Barrymore's Flower Pictures and Brad Pitt's Plan B are the best.

This condition is indeed a bit tempting. As a producer, everyone wants to have more support from the sponsor.

But he only thought about it for two seconds, and shook his head, "We have no disagreement with Matthew Horner on cooperation, and the pay is just a small issue."

If the production budget is only 40-50 million US dollars, it is not a big problem to change to a male lead, but this is a big first-line production project with a production budget of more than 150,000 US dollars, and a Brad Pitt with an uncertain future will be used. Replacing the box-office appeal of Matthew Horner is simply a joke about his future.

Seeing that Collina, who was on the opposite side, was about to speak, Akiva Goldsman took the lead and said, "Let's stop here, I still have work to do in the afternoon."

After speaking, he was ready to stand up and say goodbye.

Hearing this, Collina understood that nothing could be done, and did not continue to speak. After all, they only came to fight, not to take this road.

Brad Pitt's mind was still in the state of a popular star, and when he heard Akiva Goldsman's deliberate excuse to resign, he instantly became angry. Fortunately, his head was clearer, and his agent Collina was secretly beside him. Pulled him a hand, he also remained silent and did not speak.

Akiva Goldsman's eyes swept across Brad Pitt's face, and after a polite farewell, he turned and walked outside the cafe.

Just now he thought of some things that Helen Herman had said before and that he had specifically verified. Most of the films starring Brad Pitt had average box office results, and the highest so far was "Troy". But "Troy" has a huge investment, and the box office will pay back at most, while for other films, the North American box office can exceed the production cost.

To use a sentence in the circle, it can be said that this person climbed up all the way through the hand of a woman, but in the end he still had to rely on a woman.

On the other hand, Matthew Horner has a solid box office appeal. Seven consecutive films have sold well. Even the lowest-grossing "Dawn of the Living Dead" has several times the production cost.

Putting such a guaranteed actor aside, Brad Pitt, who is riddled with negative news instead? Something is wrong with him!

These two are not at the same level at all, and there is no way to measure, Matthew Horner is far ahead of Brad Pitt.

Brad Pitt watched Akiva Goldsman walk out of the cafe, with a gloomy face, he threw the tissue to wipe his mouth into the coffee cup, and snorted in a faint voice, "I don't know how to lift up!"

He stood up, threw his long blond hair behind his shoulders, and walked outside first. He walked out of the glass door of the cafe and saw the "Three Hundred Spartans" that stood diagonally opposite the entrance of Warner Studios. The poster, staring at Matthew Horner on it coldly for a while, then got into the car.

People get used to being at a certain height, and it is difficult to change their ideas back. This principle applies to the whole world.

Brad - Pitt has failed in the competition of so many crews. This year has been riddled with scandals, and the producers are very worried about him.

On the other hand, various studios have already quietly lowered their internal ratings and expectations for him, but Brad Pitt has no intention of downgrading himself by one level, and still treats the studio as a popular star.

Other big-name stars have encountered this situation, in fact, Brad Pitt is similar, and many people need several years or even longer to adjust and change.

Of course, Brad Pitt has been working hard in Hollywood for more than ten years, and he will not slip easily. Many stars will have slumps, such as Tom Cruise in previous years, but as long as there are excellent works, it will not take long to be able to renew Kill it back.

Another point is that Brad Pitt owns a plan b company. Although Jennifer Aniston is withdrawing capital, there was a problem in its operation for a while, but plan b has been running well and well-funded in the film company created by Hollywood stars.

"Let's put it this way, Brad Pitt is rich."

A black Mercedes-Benz car galloped forward facing the west sun, Helen Herman sat in the car and said to Matthew next to him, "Although most of the funds mobilized by plan b companies in the past came from fundraising, there were also quite a few. The number is provided by Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston."

She further said, "Now that Jennifer Aniston is ready to completely separate from Brad Pitt, there will be some problems with the funds in plan b, but if Brad Pitt can invest, these are small problems. ."

Matthew nodded, "I know, Pete is rich."

Helen Herman adjusted her glasses, "It is conservatively estimated that Pete's net worth is less than $100 million, and it won't be much worse."

"With so much money, just find a place to enjoy with Angelina Jolie." Matthew glanced out the car window, "You have to run over and take my role from me."

"Who made you succeed one after another?" Helen Herman said indifferently, "If I urgently need a successful work to get rid of the predicament, I will also follow you."

Matthew raised Erlang's legs, "Fortunately, Akiva Goldsman is not confused."

On the afternoon of the day Brad Pitt and his agent made an appointment with Akiva Goldsman, Helen got the news and called to ask Akiva Goldsman, and Akiva Goldsman did not hide it. meaning, confirms this.

Helen Herman reminded at this time, "In the future, more and more people will secretly **** the role or project you are interested in. Similar things in this circle cannot be kept secret, and we must pay more attention."

Matthew said casually, "Is it still Hollywood without competition?" He smiled. "Don't forget, Helen. I got it out of countless competitions."

When it comes to artistic accomplishment, he can be said to be in the middle, but when it comes to scheming and competing, he is no worse than anyone else.

Helen-Hellman looked at Matthew, who noticed her gaze and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Pete and Jolie, and Aniston..." Helen Herman did not say.

Matthew understood what she meant, and shrugged, "It's been a long time since the three of them had bad things. Jennifer Aniston was caught in bed, good job!"

Helen Herman shook his head. Few people knew about them at all.

Although Matthew had not seen it with his own eyes, he could imagine the scene at that time and sighed, UU reading www. uukanshu.com "Just a pity for Jennifer Aniston."

"It's also a blessing for her to get out of the quagmire of Brad Pitt." Helen Herman's indifferent face, in a sense, is actually thick-skinned to a certain extent.

Matthew's face was as thick as Helen Herman's, "You're so right."

In fact, if you think about it, you can know that, judging from Brad Pitt's past experience of climbing up a woman's thigh, maybe he has a true love for Aniston, but more probably out of that unspoken thought.

Since Pitt and Aniston made their relationship public, Pitt has not been affected by the box office failure of the starring movie at all. Whether it is remuneration or influence, it has been rising...

Helen Herman suddenly changed the subject, "You come to pick me up, where's Anna?"

"She will come." Matthew's tone was a little low. "She came to the Four Seasons in Amanda's car."

The car gradually approached the Four Seasons Hotel, he straightened his bow tie, and waited for the car to stabilize and got off first. The media reporters who were waiting here rushed over in an instant, but his bodyguards had already waited here beforehand and immediately isolated the reporters.

The reporters were very enthusiastic. For publicity purposes, after they were quiet for a while, Matthew also briefly said a few words.

"I'm very happy that 'Three Hundred Spartans' sold at the box office. It's the best reward for the hard work of the entire crew." The filming of the work has been completed, it is a sci-fi film, and it will be released in December this year, and everyone is welcome to attend the premiere at that time.”

After saying this, Matthew walked onto the red carpet under the protection of bodyguards, entered the Four Seasons Hotel, and soon arrived at the banquet hall.

The guests gathered in the banquet hall, and before the party officially started, he had become the focus, and countless people who knew or did not know came to say hello.
