Best Movie Star

From the time Natalie Portman talked to Matthew Horner, Collina followed, then followed behind the two, came here quietly, and saw Matthew Horner The Wachowskis had a hot fight with the Wachowskis, who are directors, screenwriters and producers. Why would you find an actor?

Therefore, he seemed to be casually drinking water to rest, but in fact he raised his ears high and listened carefully to every word that was said over there.

Did the Wachowskis want to have Matthew Horner in their new movie? Would Matthew Horner agree? What is this project?

This is both a business need and an inner curiosity for Collina.

But the people at the next table were discussing "V for Vendetta" and talking about mysterious topics.

Lana Wachowski was elated. Although the film was adapted from the comics, he and Andy added a lot of their own perspectives during the adaptation process.

"I think the best thing about this film is that it speaks to the hearts of a lot of people," she said eloquently. "The people shouldn't be afraid of their government, and the government should be afraid of their people."

Matthew didn't answer. He had just said a few words. When it comes to discussions on politics and philosophical speculation, he couldn't keep up with the Wachowskis in a Mercedes-Benz G.

In fact, the films he has starred in rarely directly involve politics, and sensitive films like "V for Vendetta" will never be accepted even if he is offered a corresponding remuneration.

Hollywood movies, or movies all over the world, can't be completely free from the influence of politics, but his past experience told him that it is better to be less involved in things that are deeply involved in politics, especially when he and David Ellison are ready to invest A sequel to The Fast and the Furious is being produced, sure to blur the political background in order to break into more markets.

On the opposite side, Lana Wachowski was still talking, and Matthew was basically thinking about his own business except for nodding in agreement.

According to the Wachowskis, in front of the White House, the American people are a P, so what is the White House to the P people?

He didn't know much about American politics, and suddenly thought of a passage he had read on the Internet when he was on the other side of the Pacific Ocean: The government is P's boyfriend.

First of all, why do you ignore me? Secondly, do you want you to take care of me? ! Again, you give me an explanation! Also, don't explain, I don't listen to you, it's all a lie! Finally, look at other people's boyfriends!

Just as Matthew was finishing his rambling thoughts, considering whether to find an excuse to say goodbye, the Wachowskis finally ended their chat at a level he had never been able to reach.

"Matthew, we asked Nat to find you, there is a project, and we want you to participate." Andy Wachowski spoke more directly than Lana Wachowski, "I'm planning a sci-fi Film."

He looked at Natalie Portman, and Natalie Portman took the initiative to say, "In 2005, when I was still filming V for Vendetta, I occasionally saw David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas. , and recommended it to Lana, who developed a strong interest in the story with Lana and Andy."

Matthew nodded, but didn't interrupt.

Lana Wachowski then said, "Andy and I got the rights from David Mitchell and we finished the script." He looked at Natalie Portman, "Nate Will play the heroine, and she recommends you to be the male lead."

Having said that, Andy Wachowski opened the briefcase on the side, took out the script, and pushed it in front of Matthew.

Matthew glanced at the script, and the Wachowskis clearly came prepared.

"You can look at the script first." Lana Wachowski made a gesture of invitation. "This is just the first draft. Andy and I will discuss revisions in the future, but the main frame will not change."

These words all fell into Collina's ears, and when he saw Matthew pick up the script, he turned slightly so that his eyes could be aimed there.

Opening the script, Matthew quickly browsed.

"This project is still in the confidential stage, and the script cannot be leaked out, so Lana and I specially brought it here and let you see it on the spot." Andy Wachowski is very clear that it will be difficult to start this project smoothly. The script had already arrived at Warner Bros., but the Warner Bros. review committee was suspicious of the high investment and obscure plot.

In addition, the two sequels of "The Matrix" did not meet the expectations of Warner Bros., especially the last one. Warner Bros. is no longer as obedient to their siblings as they did a few years ago.

Therefore, their siblings followed Natalie Portman's advice and came to contact Matthew Horner, a celebrity in the eyes of Warner Bros.

The story of "Cloud Atlas" is too much to their taste, and it is impossible to give up.

Matthew quickly browsed the script. There have been more and more producers or directors coming to the door like this in the past two years. Looking back on the past, for a role, it took great effort to fight for it. Take the role of taking the initiative to send to the door.

In the words of Helen Herman, a superstar or a popular first-line movie star will never lack movies and roles, just like when Steve Jobs was going well, everyone said he was a super genius. Every move has attracted the attention of investors; when Steve Jobs was kicked out of Apple’s board of directors, there were still those people who thought that Jobs was too talented, and that Jobs couldn’t find any funds to raise money for Pixar, so he had to sign a similar contract with Disney. general contract.

Chasing the winners, but too lazy to look at the losers, this is the business circle.

No one wants their project to fail, and always builds up the elements of success as much as possible, and the Wachowskis did the same.

Lana-Wachowski added, "This book has a spectacular depiction of time and space, and of human nature. In the book, Mitchell tells six relatively independent but related stories, spanning time and space from medieval Europe. , all the way to a fantasy utopia. The characters also span from knights, gangsters, musicians to journalists, and the subject matter is very suitable for filming.”

Similar to most scripts in Hollywood, the script in Matthew's hands is very thin, but the time is limited, and he just browsed it roughly.

But this script is different from the typical simple and easy-to-understand Hollywood script. I don't know whether it is his relationship with one eye and ten lines, or his limited cultural accomplishment. After reading it, he is confused.

"The script consists of six stories interspersed."

Probably seeing the doubts on Matthew's face, Lana Wachowski despised Matthew in his heart and explained, "Each actor's role has a different identity in the story, even different races and genders."

He said with a little pride, "The script and the film we shoot will reflect a depth rarely seen in Hollywood commercial films, which only truly smart people can see."

Hearing the latter words, Matthew closed the script and basically sentenced the script to death.

On the one hand, through the conversation just now, it is not difficult for him to find that whether it is Natalie Portman or the Wachowskis, they are definitely not the same as him in terms of movies; on the other hand, he did not understand the script. , but generally feel that the brain hole is very open, plus Lana Wachowski's words, the obscure and incomprehensible commercial film that reflects the so-called depth, it is really unreasonable not to rush to the grandma's house.

However, Matthew still asked, "Lana, Andy, are you the director?"

"Yeah." Andy Wachowski nodded. "We're definitely going to direct this movie."

Matthew no longer has any hope. The gossip report I remembered before clearly stated that after the Wachowskis and brothers from the "Matrix" trilogy, other movies are all box office hits.

"Lana, Andy, and...Nate." Matthew was still polite and enthusiastic in public, "Can I go back and think about it? I can't make a decision without the manager. "

"Of course." Lana Wachowski took out his business card and handed it to Matthew, "This is my phone call with Andy, hope to hear good news from you."

Matthew took it and put it away solemnly, "I also hope to cooperate with the two of you." He looked at Natalie Portman, "And Nat."

interested in? Collina heard these words and saw Matthew's enthusiastic smile, and felt that he seemed to be very interested.

David Mitchell's? "Cloud Atlas"? Take a good look back.

He immediately saw Matthew Horner stand up and leave, and Natalie Portman deliberately said a few more words to him, but the two were very low voices and could not hear what they said.

Just as he stood up to leave~www.readwn.com~ Andy Wachowski's voice came again.

"It would have been a lot easier for us to get the Warner Bros. investment if Matthew Hornaken was the lead actor."

Lana Wachowski said with disdain, "I'm not going to get investment, I'll take the initiative to find him? I can't even understand the script, the level is too low!" She sighed, "This project is at least as good as it gets. For $100 million, and without the full support of Warner Bros., we can only hold back and make the boring animated film that Warner Bros. forced us to do.”

From these words, Collina immediately analyzed some information. The Wachowskis' projects lacked funds. They didn't really like Matthew Horner. The reason why they came to him was entirely because of Matthew Horner. Na is now a red man in the eyes of Warner Bros.

Hearing the change of subject over there and talking about something boring, he simply left here and went to Brad Pitt.

"Matthew!" Helen Herman flashed from behind the crowd and waved at Matthew, "This way."

"Why are you here?" Matthew strode over.

Helen Herman didn't answer, pointing in the direction he came from, "See that middle-aged man with a little bald head? I've been watching him for a while, and he's been eavesdropping on your conversation with Wachowski. ."

Matthew followed Helen Herman's finger just in time to see the man stand up and leave the table where the Wachowskis were sitting.

Helen Herman lowered her voice, "If I'm not mistaken, he's Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's manager."

"They?" Matthew frowned.

Helen Herman whispered for a while, and Matthew's phone vibrated. He immediately took out and glanced at it, and said, "Anna is here. She didn't bring an invitation. She was stopped. I'll go out."
