Best Movie Star

Chapter 579: sell feelings

After meeting Natalie Portman, Matthew's side did not become a bystander. He and David Ellison interviewed the Wachowskis several times. The Wachowskis did not I avoided seeing it, and after several interviews, Matthew also understood that the Wachowskis are not necessarily Brad Pitt, they are completely up for sale.

The two brothers and sisters used him to hype "Cloud Atlas" to make a huge name, and then they wanted to sell it for a good price.

He guessed that the Wachowskis had bad intentions when they first approached him.

Matthew isn't complaining because he's taking advantage of the Wachowskis as well, and who's stupid enough to find a good guy in Hollywood? Not to mention a black-hearted person like him, even Charlize Theron, who has a very good reputation and a good temperament, still has piles of black material?

But he and David Ellison's bid has never been as good as Brad Pitt's.

After Sky Dance Pictures decided to invest in two projects, the lack of funds is a fact, and David Ellison's money is not something that can be blown by a gust of wind.

There are also other film companies who have contacted the Wachowskis, but no one from a small company will spend nearly 100 million dollars on a project. It is impossible for the six major companies to give too much to the Wachowskis. creative freedom rights.

Frankly speaking, the Big Six has never lacked projects.

Perhaps it was Matthew's proactive attitude that made Brad Pitt feel threatened. By the end of May, Brad Pitt's Plan B company had basically reached an agreement with the Wachowskis. , and initialed an agreement.

Plan B will be the producer of "Cloud Atlas," with Brad Pitt set to play the male lead.

"I'm very disappointed with the Wachowskis, most of my previous work was on Cloud Atlas."

When preparing to participate in a promotional announcement held by Disney Pictures for "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End", Matthew accepted a brief interview with reporters on the matter, "I am very sorry for the current result..."

Under the protection of the bodyguards, he walked towards the venue, obviously not wanting to say more.

Entering the backstage lounge of this media meeting, the slightly angry look on his face disappeared immediately, replaced by a warm smile, because Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley had already Here it is.

"Hi, Depp." Matthew hugged Johnny Depp first, then turned to look at Keira Knightley and opened his arms, "Long time no see, Keira. You're still so beautiful."

Keira Knightley opened her arms to hug him, "You're still so fussy."

Matthew didn't answer her, but turned to Johnny Depp and asked, "How's your talk with the Christopher Nolan crew?"

Johnny Depp shook his head slightly. "The talk broke down. They chose an Australian actor."

He frowned slightly and asked, "You gave up on the Wachowskis' project?"

"Well..." Matthew spread his hands and said, "No way, David Ellison and I are working on a sequel to the Fast and Furious series, and we can't make the $100 million that the Wachowskis asked for. . Because there is no funds, the male lead is naturally not mine."

Johnny Depp sighed, "What a pity. Matthew, this sister and brother are very talented, some ideas are wild and creative, and they are definitely rare talents among commercial directors."

Keira Knightley said, "Depp is right. If I were to shoot commercial films, the Wachowskis would be one of the directors I would consider."

Matthew is very clear that the Wachowskis' brain-opening and in-depth creations are indeed very suitable for the appetite of most actors. The settings and plots they have come up with are very attractive. In the words of Helen Herman Say, it looks like another Matrix.

Combining the past memories, the styles of the Wachowskis, and the experience summed up by his years of immersion in commercial films, Matthew is very sure that this pair of brothers and sisters will be the fate of repeated battles.

Perhaps the works of this pair of siblings can win a good reputation, but a good reputation has never been equated with high income.

Even Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley thought the Wachowskis were geniuses, and Matthew wasn't surprised at all.

Probably because of frequent contact with the Wachowskis recently, some memories that were about to be forgotten gradually came to mind. I remember that after reading the gossip report at that time, he went to the Internet to find the Wachowskis introduced in the report. An American drama by my sister and brother, I downloaded it and browsed it roughly.

Why download? Of course, because the introduction said there was a special group play.

Because he was dragging to watch, the name and specific plot of the American drama have long been forgotten. He can only recall that a group of protagonists used a certain person's superpower to make skirt corners through consciousness, and the brain hole was very big, but the drama was cut...

Of course, "Cloud Atlas" is not without the possibility of success, but according to Matthew's judgment from various aspects, the possibility of this project becoming a pit is far greater than that of success.

Even so, the pit is a little small for Brad Pitt.

Matthew knew he had to get Brad Pitt into another hole before Cloud Atlas was released.

A staff member came to remind them at this time that they should go to the front desk to attend the media meeting.

"Have you not seen it clearly yet?" Keira Knightley reminded Matthew as she walked towards the front desk, "The Wachowskis are using you."

Matthew nodded lightly, "I know." He smiled, "It's not too late to know."

Keira Knightley saw that Matthew's mind was clear, so she didn't say any more.

The three people came to the backstage and waited for a while. Then, in the introduction of the host, they strode onto the stage and began to shout for "Pirates of the Caribbean: The End of the World".

Commercial movies are definitely a typical example of wine fragrance and deep alleys. Especially in this day and age, if there is not enough publicity and marketing efforts, a movie may sell less and less.

Matthew is very clear that "Pirates of the Caribbean: Gathering Souls" consumes too much enthusiasm from fans, and the quality is not as good as the first one. The box office of this third "World's End" is actually not too optimistic. It may not be as good as "The Coffin of Souls", and it is difficult for the global box office to exceed one billion US dollars.

He only starred in this series, not even a nominal producer, and had no right to speak in post-production, and there was no other way but to watch.

Of course, even letting him lead post-production would not be comparable to Jerry Bruckheimer and Gore Verbinski.

Matthew is still very self-aware.

Like this kind of promotional activities, he has participated in many events before, and there is nothing to say about the content. He just made up stories and tried to brag, why he was almost attacked when shooting overseas with Johnny Depp, and Keira Knightley was Friends, not love between men and women, and so on.

As we all know, the film crew can make up many wonderful stories for publicity needs.

The media meeting went well and everything was going according to the steps set by the crew. However, when Matthew left after the end, he was blocked by reporters and asked questions about "Cloud Atlas".

"The competition for the "Cloud Atlas" project was lost," a young reporter asked loudly. "Was it a huge blow to you?"

Matthew did the whole set, of course, to show the attitude and pride that Hollywood stars should have when facing such a situation.

"Let me tell you one thing," he said with star pride, "When I was 18, I slept on a mattress that was soiled with pee, and I dragged it out of a litter box. It's a dumpster in the back of a hotel where they throw out old mattresses every six months. Now I'm sitting here with you, talking about movies, about my career, and those memories remind me to be grateful, so I'll never complain, This is heaven and everything is fine."

After speaking, he turned around and got into the car to go to another promotion meeting.

The summer season is approaching, and for a typical commercial film star like Matthew, it has also entered the most important and busiest season of the year.

Compared with the dispensable awards season, the summer season is very important to him.

Two hours later, Matthew sat at the media promotion meeting of the "Transformers" crew. Although he was only a voice actor~www.readwn.com~, he easily stole the hero Shia LaBeouf and the heroine May. Root - Fox's limelight.

With producer Steven Spielberg standing behind the scenes, Michael Bay was the one who received the most media attention on the entire Transformers crew because of the "Escape from the Clone" fiasco before.

"May I ask Matthew, why did you choose "Transformers"?"

This is the question of many reporters. In addition to the high dubbing remuneration, this toy live-action movie really lacks attractiveness.

Matthew said naturally, "It's about memories, about childhood toys, about a choice of childhood feelings." His expression became serious and looked at Michael Bay, "I am very grateful to Michael, he gave me a tribute to A chance to say goodbye to childhood toys."

The scene was silent, and everyone was looking at Matthew.

Shia LaBeouf looked at Matthew's eyes and seemed to be breathing fire. Everything that happened on the DreamWorks set has never been forgotten. He looked at Matthew with disgust and hatred in his eyes, and then looked at the man sitting next to him. Megan Fox, with unwillingness and longing in his eyes.

This coquettish **** can't wait to get Matthew Horner on!

Megan Fox's bright eyes also fell on Matthew, with a hint of pride in it, the dream lover of young women in North America, who has already been in the world...

Michael Bay turned slightly to Matthew, kept smiling and looked over there, as if he was replying to what Matthew just said with a smile. The crew had communicated with Matthew two days ago and formulated a promotion strategy focusing on selling feelings. , through the words of Matthew, a man of the right age who was born in 1980, to evoke more people's memories.

As for the effect, it depends on the lines and performances prepared by Matthew.
