【中文网】, to provide you with wonderful reading.

In the following period of time, the Wachowskis kept releasing news, boasting how amazing the project "Cloud Atlas" was. Matthew also responded positively, expressing that he was very interested in the male protagonist, and his interest was not only Just stay in the mouth, there are a series of practical actions.

He met publicly with the Wachowskis several times to discuss the script and the direction of the plan. After learning that the Wachowskis lacked financial support, he also pulled his partners Sky Dance and David Ellison. Come in.

David Ellison was also very interested in the project. He talked with the Wachowskis several times in person, and then formed a team to prepare for formal negotiations with the Wachowskis.

For a time, "Cloud Atlas" has become one of the most watched projects among the big productions that Hollywood is preparing.

Several studios, including members of the Big Six, have called to ask Matthew's thoughts on Cloud Atlas, and Matthew's answer was simple, very interested, but already in contact with David Ellison's The Sky. Dance Pictures has reached a cooperation agreement and will not consider cooperating with other companies for the time being.

By cooperating with the Wachowskis' hype, Helen Herman and Wachowski started negotiations, pulling David Ellison and Sky Dance Pictures to prepare to invest in the project "Cloud Atlas" and a series of Measures, in just over half a month, Matthew has created a situation that is inevitable for the male protagonist and investment projects of "Cloud Atlas".

When the hole is dug, wait for someone to jump in, but Brad Pitt has never had contact with the Wachowskis.

But Matthew is not in a hurry. After all, when it comes to such a big project, no one will make a decision lightly.

It is said that many companies have begun to investigate and estimate this project, including Brad Pitt's Plan B film company, especially when he got news that Brad Pitt changed his previous procrastination style and let Plan B step up to deal with Jennifer - Aniston's divestment, even on some inconsequential matters, has made quite a few compromises.

All of these made Matthew clearly feel that Brad Pitt was walking towards the big pit step by step.

But he is very clear that "Cloud Atlas" is not the top production in Hollywood, which determines that it will not be a sinkhole. Even if Brad Pitt falls into it, it is not impossible for him to climb up.

Matthew needs a bigger pit, preferably one bigger than Van Helsing and Kingdom of Heaven, so that if Brad Pitt falls, even if he doesn't fill it, he himself will be seriously injured.

Such a huge sinkhole is not easy to find.

He didn't find a suitable option until April.

This kind of opportunity is not what he wants, and it can appear along with it.

As May approaches, and as Matthew prepares to start a promotional tour for the Memorial Day holiday release of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Doomsday", some good news finally arrives.

"Spartan-Three Hundreds" ended its release in all overseas markets, and the global box office has since stagnated at $735.4 million.

For a film that only cost $85 million to make, that's an absolute blockbuster.

The subsequent DVDs have more content due to their larger size, and the sales and rental income are also quite gratifying. They are only sold in the first line. In just over ten days, the regular version priced at $19.9 and the deluxe package version at $39.9, Combined, nearly 5 million units were sold, with sales exceeding $100 million.

The film also became the 2006 runner-up in North American DVD sales after "Pirates of the Caribbean: Death Man".

"Pirates of the Caribbean: Death Man" and "Three Hundred Spartans" have all achieved big sales from the box office to the disc to the peripherals, and even Armani launched the Spartan version of men's underwear endorsed by Matthew earlier this year. , has also become a super hot style in the men's underwear market. In just a few months, Armani's global turnover on this underwear has reached tens of millions of dollars.

Whether it is a film company or other businesses, they can clearly see and feel Matthew's business appeal.

As the president of Hasbro, one of the two largest toy manufacturers in the United States, he has publicly said that Hasbro's purchase of movie peripheral toy authorization, if authorized by the character of Matthew Horner, is definitely a plus.

In addition, there is a company in the San Fernando Valley that strikes while the iron is hot, and has just launched the adult version of "Three Hundred Spartans". movie stars.

Matthew also bought a DVD specially, and watched it with Alexandra Daddario to learn about it, and staged a good show in which King Leonidas raised his spear and singled out Xerxes with a big breast.

In "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", Leonidas killed the Persian army with a spear. In this play, the spear flew up and down, suddenly left, right, front and back. Submerged in the stormy waves.

Perhaps the style of "Three Hundred Spartans" easily overwhelmed the audience's hormones, or perhaps Matthew's style was too bright. After Sky Dance Pictures directly rejected an application for copyright purchase from an adult toy company, many women Fans even signed a protest on Facebook.

These female fans strongly protested the refusal of Skydance Films to sell the copyright, and demanded that Skydance Films resume negotiations and authorize the company to make Matthew's version of the doll to meet the needs of the majority of female fans...

Of course, this kind of authorization is impossible to achieve. Hollywood has long had clear industry regulations that all personal image authorizations involving individuals must be approved by the parties concerned.

But this also reflects the popularity of Matthew from the side.

A star with such a huge commercial appeal doesn't have to worry about roles and work at all. "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" has brought a series of benign chain reactions, and Warner Bros. did it in the negotiation of "National Superman Hancock". A concession was made and an actor contract was signed with Ma Xiu.

Warner Bros. made certain concessions on the hugely different remuneration between the two parties. On the premise of Warner Bros. concessions, Matthew's side also made appropriate compromises. The final remuneration was as high as 33 million US dollars, and no later share was involved.

"Superman Hancock" has been preparatory under the command of Akiva Goldsman. Shortly after Matthew signed the actor contract, Charlize Theron also agreed to be the heroine, and the salary was as high as 15 million US dollars. .

Warner Bros. has also appropriately adjusted the project's budget from $150 million to $180 million, and is preparing to introduce new investors. In return for David Ellison's help, Matthew pulled him again. came in.

In some ways, the two have become a community of interests, and it will be relatively easier for Matthew to pull David Ellison to do certain things.

Just like he will help Helen Herman within his ability, Helen Herman has often provided him with services beyond the scope of an agent. There are few people in this world who are only willing to give and not ask for it. the person who returns.

There were also many filmmakers and projects that came up, but after Matthew and Helen Herman saw them, most of them were rejected.

On the other hand, Matthew's commercial value has further highlighted his vision for film selection. Brad Pitt, who has been silent for a long time, finally made a move. His managers Collina and Vodrow Brad Pitt met with the Wachowskis three times in a week after the Skies struck up a conversation.

He seemed to have heard enough of the situation, and he also flew to New York to meet Natalie Portman. I don't know what the specific conditions were, and he even persuaded Natalie Portman to throw away Matthew, Turned to support him.

Matthew didn't stay idle either, and continued to maintain close contact with the Wachowskis. At the same time, he deliberately let Elena Boyar break the news, revealing the differences in the negotiations between the two parties, such as Matthew's power and remuneration. , Skydance Pictures is currently only able to come up with $60 million instead of the $100 million that the Wachowskis asked for, and so on.

Everyone knows that Sky Dance Pictures has just signed an investment agreement with Warner Bros. for "Superman Hancock", and is still preparing for a new work in the "Fast and Furious" series. Nothing but normal.

The negotiation between Sky Dance Pictures and the Wachowski Brothers fell into a stalemate for a while~www.readwn.com~ The Wachowskis and the company behind them, through the hype and publicity during this period, turned out to be "Cloud Atlas". The project made a big name and attracted a lot of attention.

Later, Matthew received the news that Brad Pitt asked Plan B to form a team to coordinate and deal with the negotiations related to the Wachowskis and "Cloud Atlas".

The negotiations between the two sides are kept under wraps, and the details cannot be ascertained, but Matthew can easily tell from the Wachowskis and his and Skydance's increasingly cold attitude that they are fighting with Plan B. It's hot, maybe a deal can really be reached.

Entering May, another summer vacation in North America kicked off. Matthew was caught up in his busy work. At the same time, he had to run publicity announcements for the two films "Pirates of the Caribbean: Gathering Soul" and "Transformers". David Ellison and Helen Herman stared at Plan B and the Wachowskis.

In mid-May, when he came back from New York after running two publicity announcements and met Helen Herman, he learned that the Wachowskis had just notified Angel Agency and Sky Dance Films the day before yesterday, officially interrupting the two parties. Negotiations between, and project negotiations with Plan B and Brad Pitt started.

"Brad Pitt is smart," Helen Herman told Matthew. "He got Natalie Portman first, and he used Natalie Portman as an opening to take Wachos. Sister Kee. However, they are still negotiating and don't know when they will reach an agreement..."

Matthew nodded, "Then urge them, I'll ask Natalie Portman to meet." Mobile users, please visit m.Reading, a better reading experience.
