Best Movie Star

Early on Monday morning, a luxury sports car came to the gate of the Plan B film company with a loud roar. Brad Pitt parked the car, took the newspaper bought on the road, got out of the car and entered the company, and greeted several employees who took the initiative to say hello. Nodding lightly, he walked into the office, and his assistant immediately served a steaming cup of coffee.

He picked up the coffee and took a sip. The temperature was just right. Brad Pitt first glanced at the document on the desk, picked it up and read it. The Wachowskis' "Cloud Atlas" project is in the early stages of preparation and needs a second Funds, Plan B is to inject $40 million into the account of the third-party guarantee company as soon as possible.

After reading it carefully, he saw that the auditing accountant had signed it again. He picked up the pen and signed his name on it, and then asked the assistant to send the document to the financial department to complete the transfer as quickly as possible.

This capital is invested again, and the plan B company has invested 70 million US dollars in the "Cloud Atlas" project, and the remaining 30 million US dollars is also ready.

But he didn't feel the difficulty. Most of the money came from financing and pre-sale, and the real investment of the plan B company was only 40 million US dollars.

For someone like him with a net worth of hundreds of millions, it is still affordable.

However, working on another big project at the same time is a bit of a struggle.

Brad Pitt frowned slightly when he thought of Andrew Stanton's "Alien Battlefield". He had made formal contact with Andrew Stanton two days ago. Andrew Stanton's biggest difficulty currently lies in Disney's funds. The support is not enough. Walt Disney has just acquired Pixar Studios, and the entire group is tight. The number one key project of Disney Pictures is the absolutely guaranteed sequel like "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", which can only provide tens of millions for Andrew Stanton US dollar funding...

Andrew Stanton is interested in Matthew Horner as the actor, and the biggest consideration is to rely on Matthew Horner's appeal to raise funds.

"Matthew Horner is now a box office guarantee!" He couldn't help thinking of what Andrew Stanton said at the time. "As long as he can be drawn as the starring role, more than $200 million in financing will not be a problem."

He has already heard that Matthew Horner's Studio Thirteen and David Ellison's Skydance Films are all interested in investing in the project.

Brad Pitra opened the drawer on the left side of the desk, which contained the script and project plan of "Alien Battlefield". Since Andrew Stanton was willing to give him the script and plan, it means that he may not only want to rely on Matthew- Horner...

Who in Hollywood would tie themselves to a tree?

Let's just say that Matthew Horner has worked with Warner Bros. on three projects, "Three Hundred Spartans", "I Am Legend" and "Hancock for All". Warner Bros. intends to continue to release the two projects he is preparing. A new project, but Walt Disney offered more favorable conditions. Didn't he throw away Warner Bros. and put himself into Disney's arms without looking back?

In business cooperation, interests always come first.

Brad Pitt tapped the table lightly, closed the drawer, and remembered the newspaper he bought on the way. In fact, what happened in the movie market last weekend is directly related to whether or not to invest in "Alien Battlefield" in the future.

Turning to the entertainment section of the newspaper, he saw relevant reports.

"During the summer vacation, everyone thought that this year would go down in history because of the record-breaking total box office. As a result, the fall season, when the major ambitions sank one after another, and the holiday season, when the movie market fell faster than the temperature, shocked Hollywood. I don't dare to talk about it again, especially the nightmarish premiere of "The Golden Compass" is really chilling... Now the last hope is pinned on "I Am Legend" released this week. Looking forward to box office tycoon Matthew Horner turning the tide."

Brad - Pitt can't help frowning slightly, who said that Hollywood's hopes are pinned on Matthew Horner? His plan B didn't!

Not right, the development of Plan B seems to be following in the footsteps of Matthew Horner's success...

He stopped thinking about it and read the newspaper in his hand.

"Who says reality isn't like a movie? Fate leads to an unpredictable future, but that dramatic reversal is now happening in real Hollywood! Yes, the glorious premiere of I Am Legend starring Matthew Horner The results swept away the haze, not only made the gloomy Hollywood look radiant, but also made people exclaim: Matthew Horner, really is a legend!"

Brad Pitt snorted disdainfully and continued to look down.

"$115.8 million! This achievement exceeded everyone's expectations before! "I Am Legend" is a stimulant like a long-term nectar, which makes Hollywood re-energized. Matthew Horner has once again consolidated his status as a new generation of box office kings , and this time it's solidified so starkly and thoroughly -- you see, there's no other co-stars in this Matthew's one-man show, no big-name directors, no sizzling adaptations, just him, don't you have to tell Is it the zombies I'm attracting the box office?"

When such a film was first approved, who would have thought that it would have grossed more than $100 million at the box office in its first week? Brad Pitt was lost in thought, but his eyes were still looking down.

"More than 4,200 theaters, and the single-house performance of $27,000+ is also exceptional; the $115.8 million premiere is not only second to "Spider-Man 3", "Shrek 3" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" 3", and the highest December premiere in the history of North American films, even surpassing the three "Lord of the Rings"!"

"Although there will be "Alien vs. Predator 2" coming next week, Matthew Horner will **** this film, so I boldly predict that "I Am Legend" will receive at least $350 million in North America. Xiu's resume is even more exciting."

350 million US dollars... Brad Pitt showed a helpless smile on the corner of his mouth. The movies he starred in in the past were also far from the highest box office in North America. At that time, "Troy" he fantasized about 400 million in North America and the world. One billion, but was shattered by reality.

In the past two years, which of the films chosen by Matthew Horner is not 300 million in North America and more than 500 million in the world?

And the films that confront him are often crushed...

This weekend is no exception. Affected by the explosion of the box office of "I Am Legend", the family fun "Alvin and the Chipmunks", which opened on the same weekend, only recorded US$32 million in the first week, and "The Golden Compass" fell in the third weekend. Breaking through $5 million, "Magic" also fell to $6 million, that is, those Oscar-winning literary and artistic films screened in art theaters. Because of the large difference in genres, they were not significantly affected.

Putting down the newspaper, Brad Pitt took a sip of his cold coffee.

I specially asked someone to understand that the project "I Am Legend" was not particularly favored at the beginning of the project, and Warner Bros. also had hesitation. It was not until Matthew Horner chose this film that he really decided to invest. , it turns out that their investment is bound to reap huge returns.

Matthew Horner's vision for selecting projects...

The $115.8 million box office figure is here, and Brad Pitt can't ignore it.

Sitting on the high-backed boss chair, he considered various factors such as funding, production, starring, etc., thinking that he still has a huge amount of working capital in his hand, and other funds can be financed to solve part of it, but if it is not enough, he can also take a mortgage loan, etc... …

Brad Pitt made a call, "You go to the Pixar studio headquarters in Emeryville in person and ask Andrew Stanton for me in person. I need to see him again as soon as possible."

Hanging up the phone, he suddenly took out the script from the drawer and flipped through it for a while. When he saw Princess Mars, he couldn't help thinking of Natalie Portman, picked up the phone again, and dialed her number.

"Hi Nat, it's me, Brad. Do you have time today? How about a trip to Plan B? I have something I want to talk to you about, about Andrew Stanton's The Martian Princess, don't know if you're right Are you interested in the role of Princess Mars? Well, I'll wait for you in the office~www.readwn.com~ Put down the phone, Brad Pitt's thoughts become clearer, and he must not be soft when it is time to make a move!

The excellent first-week box office performance of "I Am Legend" has lifted many people's spirits. David Ellison has higher expectations for his cooperation with Matthew.

"What did I say?"

Inside a mansion, David Ellison said to his sister Megan Ellison, "It's absolutely right to follow Matthew's choice. This is the safest way to invest in movies."

He raised his legs, "I can now imagine how high the box office and commercial revenue of "Fast and Furious 4" and "Twilight" will be in the future!"

Meghan Ellison surprisingly did not refute, but just looked at the "Los Angeles Times" in his hand, and even the top newspapers with a relatively stable position praised Matthew Horner.

"I Am Legend, produced by Warner Bros., earned $115.8 million at its premiere in last weekend's North American box-office battle, and with this astonishing box-office record, this Matthew Horner-led film is a breeze. Song sits on top of the box office charts."

"I Am Legend was the highest-grossing film of its December 2007 premiere and one of the best-ever personal Hollywood films for a Hollywood actor. Warner Bros. and Matthew Horner couldn't help but smile. Mouth. In this film, Matthew Horner is the last man on earth, but in real life, he has a considerable number of supporters, and the $115.8 million box office is the best one prove……"

In the face of such box office figures, Meghan Ellison is powerless to refute. Although she and David Ellison have a completely different route to investing in movies and choose the independent film circle, they are all for commercial profit after all.
