Best Movie Star

Chapter 589: Progressing well

With that plan in hand, Matthew first went to Warner Studios to pick up Alexandra Daddario, then went to her North Hollywood home together, Alexandra Daddario made it herself After dinner, he took Justin Lin's plan and read it carefully.

While Alexandra Daddario's body fascinates him, it doesn't take him away.

"Did it go well today?" Alexandra Daddario asked concernedly, sitting on the sofa opposite, "Are you sure about the director?"

Without taking his eyes off the plan, Matthew said, "No. But there is a candidate."

He picked up the plan and shook it, "This is his production plan, I just read half of it, it's pretty good."

Alexandra Daddario nodded, seeing that Matthew's attention was not on her at all, she simply shut her mouth and took out her phone to play with it.

Matthew glanced at her and continued to read Justin Lin's plan.

This plan is very complete. Taking into account all aspects, it is a hundred times more credible than those who want to get a job in empty words. In fact, whether it is to win the director's lead role, or the crew or other important positions in the crew, it is impossible to say some empty words. , to make people believe that you can do it.

It is not difficult to see from the plan that Justin Lin has prepared a lot for this directorship.

He mentioned the concept of family, whoever hurts my family will hunt him down to the end; the explosions and car chase scenes that cost money like running water, which the audience likes to see; there are also some sketches about the design of the flying car, and so on.

Even, the plan also mentioned one thing that Matthew and the screenwriters overlooked. Justin-Lin believes that this fourth part is a link between the past and the future, and it is necessary to improve and determine the style of the entire follow-up series!

In addition to these, Justin Lin himself paid a research company to do targeted market research. In the first three episodes, 75% of the audience who watched the film were mostly young movie fans under the age of 25. The male audience accounted for 55%, and the female audience was 45%.

This is almost exactly in line with the results of a pre-sampling survey conducted by Skydance Pictures.

Seeing that Matthew was busy with work, Alexandra Daddario found a copy of today's newspaper and flipped through it. When she saw a piece of news, she said to Matthew, "Here's an article about Brad Pitt. interview."

Matthew looked up and asked, "In what way?"

"About the movie Cloud Atlas," Alexandra Daddario said succinctly after taking a quick look. "Brad Pitt said the film was in early development since June, probably this year. At the end of the year or early next year, the preliminary preparations will be officially carried out, and the list of the main creators that the crew already has will be announced."

"Who is there?" Matthew continued to ask.

Alexandra Daddario replied, "The directors are the Wachowskis, who are also producers, and Brad Pitt and Natalie Portman are also producers. People, big-name actors like Halle Berry, Hugo Weaving and Jim Broadbent have already agreed to play their roles."

She looked up at Matthew. "The Wachowskis are very appealing."

Matthew nodded lightly, "This is normal, the influence of the "Matrix" series is still there."

The Wachowskis, including Brad Pitt and Natalie Portman, certainly wouldn't be working with them if they weren't influential.

"Natalie Portman actually served as a producer!" Alexandra Daddario said with emotion, "Not many female stars can serve as producers?"

Matthew said calmly, "Only a few big names in the front line can do it."

Alexandra Daddario added, "Also, Brad Pitt said that Natalie Portman has just become an ambassador for UN Women and Children and will be in Geneva in the second half of the year to participate in the UN Women's Campaign. , children and refugees.”

There was a hint of emotion in her tone, "Natalie Portman has a very high style."

Speaking of which, Alexandra Daddario couldn't help laughing at Matthew, "Your style is also very high."

Matthew smiled, didn't answer, and continued to read his plan.

Alexandra Daddario asked, "Aren't you a goodwill ambassador for the UNHCR? Are you also going to this meeting?"

"Helen has received an invitation from UNHCR."

Speaking of this, Matthew suddenly closed the plan and asked Alexandra Daddario, "You just said that Natalie Portman is also the producer of "Cloud Atlas"."

"Did you listen to me?" Alexandra Daddario grumbled first, then nodded, "Yeah."

She picked up the newspaper and waved it at Matthew. "Brad Pitt said in an interview that he proposed Natalie Portman as a producer."

Matthew nodded lightly, Brad Pitt can let Natalie Portman also serve as a producer, indicating that the relationship between the two is not bad, at least in the shooting of "Cloud Atlas", it will be maintained in the honeymoon period , and Brad Pitt was also introduced to the Wachowskis by Natalie Portman.

Thinking of this, he took the mobile phone he put aside, edited a text message, and sent it to Helen Herman.

After receiving an invitation from the UNHCR, he was still hesitant to go to Geneva to attend the UN Conference on Refugees, Women and Children. Now he has decided to attend and has Helen Herman coordinate the schedule for him.

It's time to make a special trip to Geneva.

After receiving a text message from Helen Herman, Matthew put away Justin Lin's plan, walked over to Alexandra Daddario, took her hand, and walked to the bedroom together.

The work has come to an end for the time being, and it is time to surf. If you are busy, you cannot ignore relaxation and enjoyment.

Early the next morning, Matthew received a call from Akiva Goldsman and went to Warner Studios to get the latest version of "Hancock for All" from Akiva Goldsman. The script, which he revised and revised many times, this time he swore to tell Matthew that this was the version that was finally used for filming.

Matthew had no choice but to throw the previous script aside and study the new script. The theme framework of the new script has not changed, but many scenes have been adjusted. To be precise, the rhythm of the whole play is faster and the plot is more Simple, the atmosphere has become a little more cheerful.

He immediately contacted Charlize Theron. Charlize Theron was not in Los Angeles, and Akiva Goldsman had airmailed the script to South Africa.

In addition to taking into account other aspects of work, Matthew also has to re-prepare for the shooting of "Superman Hancock". The crew has been very accommodating to him, in order to cooperate with him for "Pirates of the Caribbean: The End of the World" and "Transformers" "The two films were promoted, and the shooting date was deliberately pushed back to mid-July.

It is the summer season now, and there are two films directly related to him. Matthew often leaves Los Angeles to run announcements. He is often still promoting "Pirates of the Caribbean: The End of the World" today, and tomorrow he will go to the stage for "Transformers" .

On the basis of his words about toys and nostalgia, the "Transformers" crew has formulated a complete emotional publicity plan. Before it was released, it caused a lot of heat in North America, especially the steel wire, one by one in the media, On the Internet and social networking sites, the memories of childhood and Transformers are remembered in various ways.

The influence of emotional marketing easily surpassed that of the previous activity of selecting lines for Optimus Prime, even though the lines of Optimus Prime selected at that activity were very loud-freedom belongs to all living beings.

This is also the concept of Optimus Prime in the movie. With this concept as the basis, Optimus Prime can justly become a human undercover agent.

From the beginning of June to the end of June, the publicity announcements for the two films came to an end temporarily, and Matthew finally had time to devote his energy to dealing with other issues.

The first is Plan B Films and "Cloud Atlas". Helen-Hellman and Bella Anderson have been staring at Brad Pitt and the Wachowskis. The "Cloud Atlas" project is also very high-profile. Plan B has the second highest investment in the film after "Troy", and the previous time Warner Bros. jointly invested and shared the risk. This time, Plan B will operate independently~www.readwn.com~ In order to promote and expand the influence of this project, it has been Very high-profile, all kinds of information can be easily collected, the production budget of "Cloud Atlas" is 100 million US dollars, of which Brad Pitt personally raised 40 million US dollars, and Plan B raised the remaining 60 million through the film foundation and pre-sale. dollar funding.

Plan B also reached an agreement with Sony Columbia Pictures, and "Cloud Atlas" will be distributed globally by Plan B.

In addition, Bella Anderson also told him a gossip news. Recently, Natalie Portman and Brad Pitt got very close, causing Angelina Jolie's dissatisfaction. It is said that she has a relationship with Brad Pitt. There was a big quarrel.

All in all, the "Cloud Atlas" project is progressing smoothly, and everything is developing on the right track.

Having paid attention to these things, Matthew took the time to meet with Justin Lin a few times. The Bearded Jack’s team has completed the assessment of him, and believes that he is relatively suitable for the follow-up works of the “Fast and Furious” series under the current conditions. 's director.

Helen-Hellman is a similar opinion.

After negotiating with David Ellison, Matthew decided to use Justin Lin. He officially signed a director contract with Justin Lin at the end of June. Because of the previous screw up of "Tokyo Drift", Justin Lin's director salary was very low. , of course, Sky Dance Pictures will also lower the price, and the contract is only $1.5 million.

And Matthew also learned from Marvel's practice and signed a director contract for the trilogy with Justin Lin at one time.

Of course, there are also remarks clauses in the contract. If the box office of the fourth film fails to meet expectations, Justin Lin will naturally be kicked out.

After getting this done, Matthew was relieved for the time being, and he could go to the premiere of "Transformers" safely.
