Best Movie Star

Chapter 596: Issuing competition

From the Death Star Building to the Century City Mall, Francis Lawrence and Paula Patton deliberately found a place where they could easily see the entire temporary set, and stood on the relatively high steps, watching what was happening on the set. everything.

He saw Akiva Goldsman, he saw Matthew Horner...

Then, I remembered everything that happened to the crew of "I Am Legend" and what happened to my good friend Spike Lee.

A racist slandered a democracy and freedom fighter like that, is there justice in this world? Are the American media and people blind?

Francis Lawrence was a little short of breath, and those memories were too congested.

In particular, what happened to Spike Lee, who was a friend, made him particularly angry. A first-class director in the film industry, a fighter for the rights of black people, is now so depressed that he can't even find a job, so he can only drink alcohol every day to drown his sorrows. Plus to the point of smoking marijuana and cocaine.

Last time he visited Spike-Lee, he also found **** and syringes.

If this continues, this famous fighter for democracy and freedom will be completely destroyed!

But he can't persuade Spike Lee, he and Paula Patton together can't persuade Spike Lee, whenever there is good news about Matthew Horner in the media, Spike Lee will Drink more alcohol, take more drugs.

"He's so proud." Paula Patton looked at Matthew Horner, who was standing on the set talking and laughing with producer Akiva Goldsman, and said with a cold face, "It's so ugly, I'm embarrassed to open my mouth. !"

Francis Lawrence glanced at his girlfriend, but didn't answer her, because Paula Patton was obviously angry. Anyone who has no problem with eyes knows that Matthew Horner is very good-looking.

"I think of Spike Lee." He sighed.

Paula Patton disagreed, "That's his own bad luck." She pointed to Matthew and Akiva Goldsman on the set and said, "Francis, you have a chance to prove, let those two **** see, give up on me and You are wrong!"

Francis Lawrence also looked over there, recalling what happened the day he lost the director of "I Am Legend", and did not answer for a while.

Paula Patton continued, "We have Aliens vs. Predator 2 and I Am Legend both coming out in December, we're only a week later than those two bastards, we can make their next weekend The box office has shrunk dramatically.”

Francis Lawrence still didn't speak, but his brows were slightly wrinkled. Even now, he couldn't understand why Warner Bros. put "I Am Legend" on the weekend before "Alien vs. Predator 2".

"Twentieth Century Fox has already set a schedule for Alien vs. Predator 2," Paula Patton said, grabbing Francis Lawrence's arm, "It was a long time before Warner Bros. Legends' release schedule, there must be Matthew Horner and Akiva Goldsman playing the trick! They're targeting us!"

"Yes..." Francis Lawrence nodded slowly, "There is... this possibility."

Although he thinks in his heart that the two films are not the same level in terms of investment and cast, he doesn't think he is worse than Guillermo del Toro, the Mexican.

If Guillermo del Toro screwed up and his Alien vs. Predator 2 was a huge success, it would have slapped Matthew Horner and Akiva Goldsman in the face , let these two **** regret it.

Presumably Spike-Lee also likes to see such a result? Maybe he can be reinvigorated. The great cause of black democracy and freedom struggle requires this fighter to continue to participate.

Francis Lawrence and Paula Patton did not leave immediately, but stood here and continued to watch the filming of the crew until the crew finished work, then left the shopping center, returned to the parking lot near the Death Star Building, picked up the car and drove away.

Seeing that the crew had finished work, the onlookers dispersed one after another, the reporter paparazzi prepared to continue filming, and those movie fans flocked to the exit of the temporary studio, ready to ask for autographs from their favorite actors.

Phyllis Beretta is among the fans, but she has no plans to get Matthew's autograph. She has collected too many autographs, such as premiere autographs, studio autographs, announcement autographs, fan club autographs, and so on.

She found a place with higher terrain, took out the camera in her backpack, installed a telephoto lens, and prepared to take some photos, which she then sent to the fan support website. Matthew's new film is being filmed, which also helped spread the popularity of the new film.

After a busy day's work, Matthew went to the makeup trailer to remove his makeup, and then simply took a shower. In the weather in August, he was wearing Kevlar gear for so long, and his body was already soaked with sweat. Now, sweat is streaming down the body.

After taking a shower, putting on dry clothes, and taking the water glass from Bella Anderson, he took several sips, and then he felt a little more comfortable.

"More than an hour ago, I went to answer the phone outside the set and saw two people." Bella Anderson said directly without waiting for Matthew to ask, "I saw Francis Lawrence and Paula Patton, the two of them seemed to be From the Death Star Building."

Matthew nodded, "I remember Francis Lawrence signed with CAA when Will Smith was competing with me for the lead role in I Am Legend, and now CAA has moved to the Death Star Building, I guess they came out of CAA Yes."

Bella Anderson added, "I paid special attention to them. They were watching the shoot and didn't leave until the end of work."

"Don't worry about them." Matthew waved his hand, "Two insignificant little people."

If Bella Anderson hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about Francis Lawrence and Paula Patton, who can be said to be insignificant compared to Will Smith.

When there is a suitable opportunity in the future, let these two fall into a big somersault.

Matthew picked up the glass again, took a gulp of water, and when he put it down, Bella Anderson continued, "It was David Ellison who was calling, and he said the guy from Paramount Distribution Formal contact with Sky Dance Pictures, and I want to undertake the North American and overseas distribution of the fourth part of "Fast and the Furious"."

"This is a good thing." Matthew calculated, "Now there are four companies, Warner Bros., Universal Pictures, Paramount Pictures and Lionsgate Pictures, who want to compete for the distribution rights of "Fast and Furious 4". The more it is, the better it is for us, and we can also drive down the distribution fee.”

Bella Anderson reminded, "The members of the six major companies have long reached a tacit understanding that the films they release have a lower limit of the distribution ratio."

Matthew nodded. The six major Hollywood companies are at the top of the entire industry chain. They both compete and cooperate, and sometimes suppress their competitors very tacitly.

"I'll discuss it with David." Matthew said calmly, "Since many companies want to get the distribution rights, let Sky Dance Pictures talk about the minimum distribution ratio as much as possible."

This is directly related to his investment income. Of course, he is very careful. "It is also very beneficial for us to have Lionsgate as a spoiler."

Hollywood has never been short of people who challenge the inherent order. Following the decline of DreamWorks, Lionsgate is ambitious and wants to join the ranks of Hollywood's first-tier studios.

Matthew looked at the time and said, "Come on, let's go straight to Beverly Hills." He got out of the trailer first, waited for Bella Anderson to follow, and said, "You can get in touch with David and see him. I'll go talk to him someday when I have time."

"Well." Bella Anderson responded.

Confluence bodyguards went out from the set, Matthew was immediately surrounded by fans, and reporters and paparazzi took pictures frantically. This is the other side of being a star, and endless people will always follow you until the day when you are not popular. .

If there is gain, there will be corresponding pay, which is fair, and he rarely complains.

Matthew's attitude towards fans has always been very good. Although he was very tired after a day of filming, he patiently signed autographs for fans. It was not until more than ten minutes later that he was squeezed out of the fans~www.readwn.com~ got into the car and left.

Seeing the black Mercedes-Benz leaving the Century City shopping mall, Phyllis Beretta aimed at the rear of the car, took the last photo, then removed the lens, carefully packed the camera and lens into the backpack, and was ready to find a place Upload it to the fan support website, so that other screen fans can spread the news in time.

She put on her backpack and walked towards the Century City Shopping Center, where there was a paid internet area for computers, which was relatively cheap and just right for her.

Moreover, there are several fast food restaurants that are open all night, so you can eat cheap fast food, and you can save a lot of money by spending a night in the store.

As a front-line fan without a regular job, her home is far away in Queens, New York, and she has no residence in Los Angeles. She must plan for the distribution of expenses, and save money to buy a plane ticket back to New York.

Entering the Century City Shopping Center, Phyllis Beretta quickly found the computer paid Internet access area, selected some of the photos she took today and uploaded them to the fan support website, and then paid the fee and went to the nearby fast food restaurant.

I was about to buy a hamburger for dinner when the phone in my trouser pocket suddenly rang.

Phyllis Beretta took it out and glanced at it. It was a very unfamiliar number, but she was still connected.

"Hello, are you Miss Phyllis Beretta?"

In a very formulaic voice over the phone, Phyllis Beretta replied, "Yes, I am!"

Then, she heard a few more words over there, her mouth widened in surprise, her face full of disbelief, "How is this possible? How could my parents have an accident? Okay! I'll rush back now."

Phyllis Beretta couldn't care less, ran out of the burger shop, out of the shopping center, and rushed to the airport.
