Best Movie Star

"Hello, Christine."

At Los Angeles International Airport, the helpless Phyllis Beretta called a screen fan, "I'm Phyllis, Phyllis Beretta."

A girl's voice came over the phone, "Ah, hello, Phyllis. I'm looking at the photos you uploaded to the support website today. Some of them are really good and professional!"

Phyllis Beretta was in a hurry and said quickly, "Christine, can you do me a favor? Can you lend me five hundred dollars?"

"Ah?" The phone was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Is there an emergency?"

"I want to buy a ticket and rush back to New York." Phyllis Beretta's face was full of sadness, and tears seemed to fall at any moment, "I just received a call from the police, my parents were in a car accident, I have to go back quickly, my body Not enough money..."

He said directly, "Give me an account. Phyllis, don't worry..."

Phyllis Beretta hurriedly reported her bank account number to Christine on the other end of the phone. The two said a few more words. She hung up the phone, and then a reminder was sent that there was an extra $1,000 in the account. .

There was an emergency at home, and Phyllis Beretta didn't say much. She edited a thank you text message for Christine, hurried to buy a plane ticket, and returned to New York as soon as possible.

On the other hand, Christine sat in front of the computer to complete her work, and specially posted a post about Phyllis Beretta on the support website, briefly explaining her situation, and hoped that other fans would meet her if they met her. Help if you can.

Her family conditions are very good, but she knows that Phyllis Beretta is from an ordinary black family in Queens, New York, and her finances are average, as if her parents are still burdened with heavy mortgages.

Hope it's not a serious problem.

Thinking of this, she put these aside for the time being, preparing to wash up and go to bed early. Being a screen fan is just a hobby and usually has a formal career.

For the next week, Matthew was on the streets of Los Angeles shooting scenes of Hancock showing off his prowess. He rescued hostages in the bank, caught robbers on the highway, and bullied children who ate ice cream...

Although there will be some surprises in the shooting, it is generally smooth, and the progress of director Peter Berger's plan is basically maintained.

After filming rescuing people from train crossings, he took a break from the set to travel to Geneva to attend a global UN conference on women, children and refugees.

Before leaving, he still has some business to deal with.

Matthew sent off Alexandra Daddario first, and Helen Herman secured the lead actress in a low-budget horror film that is headed to Australia and could go on for a long time.

The day before they went, the two spent a crazy night together, and they communicated peacefully, and the relationship that lasted for half a year came to an end.

Since it is not love, it cannot last for a long time.

Alexandra Daddario was not sad, and Matthew was not reluctant. From the very beginning, their minds were very clear, and they both knew that each other was just a passer-by in each other's life.

Matthew didn't have time to think about it too much, because there was so much work to do before going to Geneva.

Next, he met and chatted with David Ellison. The two of them were basically talking about the fourth part of "Fast and Furious". The writing team has recently continued to improve the script, and strive to simplify the story so as to give There's plenty of time for action scenes such as cars, explosions, and fights.

Movies like this usually try to keep them under two hours. If the narrative time is too long, the duration of the action scenes will inevitably be affected.

Although not a very professional producer, Matthew knows very well what audiences want to see most when they go to the theater to see this kind of film.

In this kind of film, a good story is the foundation, and a good story can also be a simple story, but various stunt scenes and action scenes can really attract the audience.

After reading the latest version of the script, Matthew discussed with Justin Lin and Bearded Jack again. He was not satisfied with the script and asked the team led by Gary Scott Thomson to continue to revise and adjust it. Anyway, in the short term Inside this video will not start shooting, they have plenty of time.

In addition, he also met Daniel Wu. Although this Chinese actor is handsome in appearance, he is strong and is obviously not a popular girl. After director Justin Lin specially held a makeup audition for him, he also officially confirmed Daniel -Wu will play the Chinese characters in it.

Matthew also talked to Daniel Wu in detail. The Chinese-American actor grew up in the United States and has a sufficient understanding of American-style drag racing and refitting. He is fluent in English and American-style living customs, which can also prevent the crew from appearing unnecessary in the future. the contradiction.

These are also the main reasons why he finally chose Daniel Wu.

In fact, Helen Herman is right. The first thing they have to consider is the North American market. The North American market is the No. 1 market for Hollywood movies. Like this typical popcorn movie, if the North American market is hot, the overseas box office is basically the same. will explode.

North America first, then others.

A Chinese-American actor and character is undoubtedly more accepted in the North American market.

The North American film market is highly xenophobic. Matthew has experienced it in recent years. Just like typical Hollywood-style political correctness, a film can only take the initiative to adapt to the current society.

This "Fast and Furious 4" has no financing, no pre-sale, and it is completely invested by him and David Ellison, of course, to avoid those elements that will obviously lead to failure.

In terms of distribution rights, following the previous Universal Pictures, Warner Bros., Paramount Pictures and Lionsgate Pictures, Walt Disney's special distribution label Pwell International also came to the door, wanting to win the title. North American and overseas distribution rights for the film.

Matthew and David Ellison are not in a hurry, and they are talking with several distribution companies. Of course, whoever offers the most favorable conditions will choose whoever.

In addition, Mercedes-Benz has stated that it will continue to sponsor Matthew's films.

Perhaps the luck and effect of Matthew's films in the past two years has continued to the business side. After serving as the spokesperson for Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-Benz's sales of SUVs and business sedans have been steadily increasing.

Mercedes-Benz intends to renew his contract for another five years and is ready to formally start negotiations with Helen Hermann before the end of the year.

At the same time, the two films that Matthew participated in also continued to be released in the summer to reduce the box office. "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World", which premiered in late May, has reached the end of the screening, and the current North American box office is 345.68 million US dollars. , which grossed $885.61 million worldwide.

The North American box office of this film has little potential to tap, and there are still some countries and regions overseas that have just been released or are about to be released, and the global box office is very hopeful to break through the billion-dollar mark.

"Transformers" is also popular. It has been released in North America for more than a month, and the cumulative box office has reached 285.2 million US dollars, and the global box office has exceeded 500 million US dollars.

DreamWorks has long put "Transformers 2" on the agenda. According to the latest news from Matthew, DreamWorks and Paramount Pictures discussed the news of making a Megatron independent film, and they also talked with Helen Herman again. Contacted, but his high salary once again made DreamWorks and Paramount Pictures retreat.

High remuneration does sometimes become a concern for film companies, and there is always a corresponding high risk associated with excessive investment.

Of course, it's impossible for Matthew to lower his pay for a dubbed movie.

He likes Transformers and Megatron very much, but he has already used the dubbing of the film "Transformers" to miss them. This nostalgia is enough once.

Afterwards, Matthew put these things aside for a while and worked with Helen-Hellman and Amanda to formulate a speech at the United Nations conference in Geneva.

As a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, he will make a special speech on stage.

After finishing the speech, Amanda talked to him about the charity foundation.

"I almost forgot to congratulate you."

In a lounge, Amanda gently stroked her short golden hair and said to Matthew, "You are now a billionaire."

She tilted her head and looked at Matthew, "How many times has the Apple stock in your hand doubled?"

Matthew just laughed~www.readwn.com~ but didn't answer Amanda's question at all. The first-generation kidney machine was officially launched on June 29, and Apple's stock soared, up nearly 9% that day, and the next day. More than 5%, although the follow-up is not as exaggerated as these two days, it has been in a stage of steady rise.

Today, Apple’s market value has surpassed $100 billion, which is more than 20 times higher than the $4 billion in 1997 when Steve Jobs returned.

What he bought at the beginning were all scattered shares in the market, and the number was actually limited, and the current market value combined is only a little more than 200 million US dollars.

Still, it was enough to make him a billionaire.

There are obviously many billionaires in Hollywood.

If he is a lazy person and has no other pursuits, with these Apple stocks, plus other assets, he can eat and die.

But Matthew is not such a person after all. Once people have money and have nothing to do, they will soon be useless.

He will continue to work hard in Hollywood and continue to stick to his original aspirations.

Standing on the heights of Hollywood and looking at the lush forest, there are models, actors, stars, and newcomers eager to become famous.

It would be foolish to give up on Hollywood's forests at this point.

So, even though he enjoyed fighting Alexandra Daddario's stormy waves, he wouldn't give up the entire forest because of this person.

Amanda just smiled when she saw Matthew, she didn't want to answer, and she didn't ask questions, after all, this also involved personal privacy.

"Matthew, about your two charitable foundations..." She slowly changed the subject, "I have a new idea, and we need to make some appropriate adjustments."
